I worked on an early 90's S4 last fall. It was soft, WAY soft.
That's odd...my wife and I had three of those ('94-'96) along with my dad's '90 V8Q, and I currently take care of an older friend's '93 V8Q. All were/are on the medium-hard side, but no, they're not as hard as our '00/'01 Audis. More like the typical GM that's on my Yukon.
Saleenfan- In case the one you're working on is similar to my experiences, here's what I used on the '93 the last time I did it:
For the sorta-serious initial correction I used PC/3.5" PFW/1Z Pasta Intensiv (this was before I got M105). Followed that with some additional passes via Cyclo with green pads and HT-HC. Finished up with the Cyclo/green/1Z HG.
I tried milder combos (e.g., 3M PI-III RC 05933)and they didn't o anything...typical Audi-clear resistance to mild compounds/pads. Back when the S4/S8es were our daily drivers I had to get pretty aggressive with them, doing correction via Cyclo (in the pre-M105 days) was a real PIA.
If anything weird comes up, post back and I'll try to jog my memory enough to help with a solution. We had those cars for a *LONG* time, so I had plenty of practice on them. Heh heh, Accumulatorette would still be driving her '94 S4 had some chick not rear-ended it in a big way.
