Default Fading of Ming Blue Colour - 2001 A6

I believe I read a post before where someone indicated that the dealer agreed to repaint or repair a vehicle as a result of the paint wearing - appearing to look faded or dulling - just behind wheels. This actually occured last year - the car is less than 2 years and it goes without saying it is not driven off-road or any gravel.

Suggestions ........ feel free to post or contact me directly ....don't want to get messed around.

Default I have the same problem with my Ming Blue. It looks like it was sand blasted

I would be interested if you get it taken care of...I actually used a colored wax last spring that helped a little but it quickly wore off.

That report makes me suspect it's not all OEM paint on the body.
