Default Is my testpipe killing my rear bumper ?

I've had it on the car almost since I first got it.... within the first 5k miles anyway.
My paint protection doesn't seem to last any length of time on the rear bumper.
The rest of the car beads and sheets beautifully, but not the rear bumper. I typically wash the car weekly. I just feel like something has to be wrong, and my first assumption is the test pipe.


The products I use:
Megs Gold Class
Porter Cable
P21s Paintworks Cleanser
Wolfgang Gloss enhancing smoothing polish
Wolfgang Paint sealant

Yeah, my T.P. does the same thing to me. No way is it good for the paint. Oh well, just keep it as clean as you can.
