waterspot removal

[drgntear]

I have a quick question.

I purchased several products and the UDM machine from autogeek and I must say I am impressed with the products.

I was able to remove the waterspots on the door panel, but it didn't work so well on the bumper.

I used the following with the UDM
Pinnacle XMT 3
Pinnacle XMT 1
Pinnacle Finishing Glaze
Then wax

Any tips with the bumper?

Thanks,
Steve

bumper painted or chrome ?? Painted usually means the spots had etched the paint. You can polish to reduce or wet-sand to try and remove.

hi, it's painted. man, i was hoping i wouldn't have to read that word "etched". what grit sand paper do you recommend starting with?

thanks

super fine ... I think its 2000 or 1000 grit. Best bet is to search wet-sanding here for answers. I DONT WETSAND !!

Based upon the principle of least aggressive product first. Finishing paper grit- 3000 /2500/ etc
