Before & After
I posted up earlier about my little mishap with my front bumper. After a few hours with 2000 and 1500 grit sand paper & 2 different stages of rubbing compound with a buffing wheel attached to my Dewalt cordless I ended up with this, not to bad. The paint got a little thin around the air intake but I can live with it for now.
I might get a buzz can of GM Torch Red and hit that area around the duct. I surprised the hell out of the wife to might add.
