Capturing imperfections with your camera can be a difficult thing to do... your best bet is to use all manual settings if using an dSLR and you definitely need good lighting that reveals the imperfections. Make sure you aren't focusing on the reflection but the surface of the paint. A little practice and messing around with the settings should give you some results. Also, I found that no outside lighting helps, if you have windows letting light in, that can hinder capturing the results.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, it definitely seems that the Audi was much tougher than my Sparkling graphite E90. The manual focusing makes perfect sense, thanks for the tip! The current pics had definitely been focusing on the reflection and not the surface, so manually focusing it will help a lot!
