    Bastards! :(

    It looks like you may be able to carefully buff the worst of it out. BP is soooo thin though. :(

    Speaking of paint damage. Have you guys tried the touch up paint "aid" some dealers are selling? You apply it over the touch up paint then use a scraper to remove excess touch up paint so the only paint that remains is in the scratch/chip. I have some but have never gotten around to using it. It sure would beat the heck out of wet sanding if it works. I assume this is some kind I'd paint thinner/softener.

    Did you put the covers on yet? Please take a picture when you do. So far the only pic floating around is of my single wheel.

    no front.JPG front inside.JPG new front.JPG I went over a raised construction plate a week ago, and lower front air dam( 5 axis) got caught on it. It pulled down and ripped the front bumper in half. Since I had removed the front many times to install and fix lights I decided to try and fix it myself. Got the front bumper and left wheel well from Toyota and worked on it over the 4 day Xmas weekend. Finished in 3

    That's a bummer. Doesn't look to bad, hopefully you can get it buffed out.

    Meguires is good stuff.

    Ive never had to buff out scuffs on paint before but I would try using a clay bar to get the scuff off of the clear coat & then follow it up with a wax n polish.

    Try a cleaner wax like Meguiar's. if that doesn't work you can try Meguiar's Ultimate Compound but you will need to go back over it with a finer polish to remove hazing. That should get rid of the majority of the blemish.
