That would be my thought. Thinking maybe not enough. I picked up some clay bars a few days ago. Just waiting for some cooler weather to use them.
yeah if clay bar doesn't work it needs a heavier Cutting compound and cutting pad, than polish compound and polish pad. That would be some acid level staining I have not seen.

Yeah. I have all of that equipment, but I hate the idea of doing this bumper because I can tell already that the paint is pretty thin.
