    What did you do to get your aluminum bumpers to shine like that?

        Did the sanding leave any scraches or anything?

        Also, what did you buff with after the fact?

          Usually you can use 1000 wet as a final sand & buff using a buffer & 3M Super Duty compound & then go over it with Mother's Aluminum polish & get a chrome like finish.
