Default !@#% rear bumper

I bought my T/A a little over a year ago and it was always garage kept, but the top of the rear bumper had some fading to it. Well it is getting worse and I have tried claying, polishing, waxing, etc and I can't get the gloss to come out and it has some water marks on the corner.

I dont want to repaint it so will wet sanding and buffing bring out the luster once again?

I am at a loss.

Thanks
Mike

just try to buff it first... with a decent rubbing compound... somthing like medium aggresive... if its that oxidized there might not be alot of clear material left to wetsand...

ya if its oxidized your pretty much making it worse to wetsand, buffing might make it better, use something with some heavy grit, and buff at low rpms
