Buff Swirl Removal Help
Hi, I just had the right corner of my front bumper buffed out due to a scratch/scuff and it did remove them, but left a swirl mark on the side. I tried washing my car, but it won't go away. Although it isn't too noticeable I still want to get rid of it. Anyone have any idea how I should/could remove it? Thanks
**I have some light chips all over my front bumper due to debris on the freeway. Is there a way to remove that too?**

The rock chips won't go away no matter how much you buff/polish/compound. Either try using some touch-up paint sparingly (don't glob on) or re-spray ($$)

rock chips wont go away...unless its repainted or touched up/wetsand/polished. what was used on the bumper? you can try a light polish to try to remove it. scratch x would be something that you can find almost anywhere.

As mentioned, buffing wont remove chips. Touch up would be your best bet.
And again, as suggested, a polish should remove any light/medium swirls if you're working by hand. SSR2 is a nice option that works very well by hand or machine. You may consider following up w/ a lighter polish too, like SSR1
