dull 82 front bumper
I bought an 82 bright blue vette with original paint. Car still shines up nice but the front bumper is a bit faded. Is there something (short of painting the whole car) that I can apply to the bumper to bring back some of the luster and shine? Thanks.

Clay the front bumper to get most of the contaminents out. I think Mequires and others offer a clay system. That will get it back. I can tell you if the damage is really bad nothing will work. Repaint will be your only option.

This seems to work don't ask me how.
Aluminum Foil: Briskly scrub rust spots on car bumpers with a piece of crumpled aluminum foil, shiny side up. Also works well on the chrome shafts of golf clubs.
