^^agreed....wet sand is more helpful
but clay bar will help cleaning that area up so the paint will go directly on the bumper and not any dirt or any transfer from what he rubbed on. i was thinking quick fix and clay bar + paint is good enough
example:
this is when it happened
this is after clay bar + touch up paint

it was rough to begin with. so it was rough after. but dont worry, its not like that now...i've already fixed it since. that was a temporary thing. just for comparison purposes
plus that part was the worst, point of impact,...look at all the other stuff around it, those are more similar to Stephen's lip rash and that mainly came off with clay bar and a little bit of paint on the areas that didnt go away

Whoa thanks man!!
My DDM low beams are beginning to act up intermittently. I'll probably be replacing them with 5000k Morimoto 5Fives within the next month.
Other than that, I'm probably done putting money in the car and updating this thread. I've already been contemplating a move similar to what Paul just announced.

I'll be keeping this as a DD for another year. Next summer I'll be looking at Mercedes C350/E350 or C63AMG and keep tc as a winter car. May be then sell it privately cuz i've put way too much money in it to just bring it to a dealer

Nah, haven't done anything to it since the Dezod header.
I installed the CCFL halos from Xtec but one of them doesn't work. Xtec was very cool about sending me a replacement, but I haven't really made the time to get it installed.
Otherwise, I'm done putting time/money into it. Just going to drive it, maintain it, and use it as a daily driver once I get my next car.

I'll bump this thing back up for the hell of it. Got my other halo installed finally and they look pretty sweet. Wish they were a little more visible in the day time, but they look fantastic at night, dusk, dawn, and on cloudy days.
