Left the office early, with intentions to take care of this ASAP. Damage wasn't that bad at all. I am still trying to figure out how it happened. Its paint transfer but giving the angle I don't know what I hit or hit me.

First I gave the bumper a waterless wash with Blackfire Waterless.
Next, I was going to sand it first but went with the Wolfgang Uber Compound and blue hybrid pad on the Flex. After priming the pad I let it sit for a minute or 2 and cranked up the flex to speed six with 5 to 6 passes.

Uber compound did the trick with the blue hybrid pad, next I finished with HT red pad and M205

Nice job. Did the holes for the license plate come like that when you bought the car?

 

Nice job.

 

Thanks!

Yes, they are dimpled into the bumper.

 

Most vehicles already come with those dimples for the license plate.

 

Bug and tar remover or claybar usually do the trick as well for those that dont have a buffer and compounds.

 

For me it's been a hit or miss with this; but definitely a cheaper alternative.
