Detailing the bumpers (325 views) (457 thread views) 
Message: I have a black 97 540/6 and the paint is in great shape for its age. I maintain a semi-annual regimen of claying, polishing with Menzerna FP II, adding a layer of Menzerna FTG, and finishing with Menzerna FMJ, then maintaining with a HGAS or GD Aquawax after washing. I am happy with the look of the paint but I can never get the black trim and bumpers to look as good.

Over the weekend I applied the same process to the rear bumper using my PC with 4" pads. The part below the trim belt came out OK but nothing to rave about. The part running under the trunk and above the belt trim frankly looks awful; it looks dull and no matter what I do I can't get it to show any gloss.

Either what am I doing wrong here, or what could you suggest that would make the plastic bumpers look as good as the metal?

Thanks, Nick
