Default Dull Bumper Treatment?

Hi All,

Sorry if this is a repeat question, but I didn't have any success with a search...

I recently hit my car with another coat of Zymol Japon Wax & noticed that my front bumper very
dull compared to its adjacent metal parts. Is there anything different I could be doing to the
bumpers to maintain their shines? I purchased the car new, and the bumper was never repainted
as far as I know.

Thanks in advance!

I've had success on , plastic and chrome bumpers using a porter cable with fine compound and/or swirl remover..

yup, sounds like its time to polish your car-
not wax, but polish...
then wax again after polishing.
i would use the least aggressive polish in the product line that i was using for this.

with zymol, i think the polish that you would use (assuming that you want to use zymol products) would be the hd cleanse:

Thanks Guys,

Yeah...it's been a while since I HD-Cleansed the car, so maybe I'll try that this weekend.

Thanks again!
