After the prep this is what we found on the paint









Masking the car prior to correction



Various 50/50 shots



The rear bumper was in bad shape





50/50 shot of the rear bumper - lots of progress
Under a halogen




Under an LED



Dan buffing off polish to find a mirror shine


After Menzerna FG400 and Sonax Nano Polish we were able to achieve some nice results



After Wolf's Hard Body
