You want to polish away the swirls and are concerned about the chips? While I didn't have any chips, the mild pad/polish compound like I used will simply glide right over. It may slightly smooth the edges of the chips, but it won't make em worse.
Thank you for the answers. I was debating whether to polish the front bumper or not since I plan on replacing the whole bumper in the future but not so soon. It feels weird to me to just leave out the front bumper unpolished but the rest of the car shinny. So I still want to work on the bumper a bit as long as no serious damage will be done polishing a chipped area.

Also, how'd you attack those shadow trims + side mirror trims? Did you use PC polisher with smaller back plate and pad or hand polish them? I have a Flex with 6.5" and I assume it would be much of a hassle working on those tight spots
