3M Perfect It 3000 extra cut, swirl mark remover, then hand glaze or wax

Love the stuff! It doesn't dry up or clog the pad like the farecla. You get to work it and work it. Did first and second stage of compound on the pass side and hood and did glazing on the pass side. Sunlight pics to follow sunday. For an amateur, I couldn't be happier!

What's your plan of attack on the "Mazda" part of the front bumper that you have taped off?
