[s-cars] Looking for a urS6 avant

[Sean Douglas]

I agree, T-red is the fastest :-)

But, my t-red 1997 S6 is clear coated from the factory. Some of the
older Audis and VWs that were t-red were not clear coated, my 1990
90q20v is like this.

You can always tell after doing a cut polish and the pad will turn red
if it is not clear coated.

Cheers,

Sean
