When I resprayed under the hood I taped the plastic with ductape to the car. Big no-no. It got sticky and stuck to the paint. I took a couple of pieces of with my finger nail and boy it took a while. I decided to try an old worn dorn soft scrub thiny, like a scotchbrite pad. Well that fucked the paint.

Is there compound that I can try and rub into the bumper and headlight? If not I will just have the autobody shop respray both, there are a couple door dings and a dent that need to be fixed anyhow...

if you try some over the counter stuff and it doesnt

work then when the car is running take it to a detail shop

or a body shop to have them buff it out for you



by the time you buy what I would suggest you might as well

have someone do it for you cheaper
