waxing bumper
I was told that waxing the plastic parts of the car shouldnt be done? Reason was its flat paint? I have cheap turtle wax you see for 2 dollars and somethin. Does that really hurt or is this guy crazy

you don't need to wax it, and it can be hard to get the white marks off... particularly around the sideview mirrors and the mud guards. on the other hand, the bumper should be fine everywhere. Turtle Wax makes a specific wax just for those plastic parts that won't leave any residue behind. apparantly it even gets rid of the "white" from other waxes. i'm going to try it sometime soon.

Though my front bumper is mostly tiny black spots from stone chips anyways, so I don't bother.

You wax the painted bumper just like anything else. Un painted plastic should be avoided, like the black trim mentioned.
By the way, flat paint is the opposite of gloss paint. It just isnt shiny. Matte is a finish that is "rough" to give a different look and reduce glare.
