Re: new A6 and bra experience

["Fred Munro" <munrof@isys.ca>]

Hi Todd;

    While I was looking for an S4, I got a call from a dealer about a '94 he
had just gotten in. He said the owner had fitted Stoneguard to the front and
the paint was in perfect shape with no stone chips. I did not see the car
myself. I don't see why the Stoneguard would not work since most of the
paint damage is small chips and sand abrasion.
