If you wet sand it you will destroy your finish.

Not if you wetsand the paint off, primer, paint, then reclear coat. See my paint thread for more details

Oh, and 99_cl_girl, if you're getting your bumper repainted, now's the perfect time to get a ww lip and have them paint that at the same time

I dont think she was talking about repainting the bumper. If she was my fault. I just know that a lot of people think that if you wetsand your car with a very fine sandpaper its equal to a very nice polish/wax job. They dont understand that if you wetsand it you need to repaint it and the works.
