Will I be able to bypass the chips and polish it anyway? I can imagine it could cause me more pad to do so but other than that is there any cons? |

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. |

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 |

I say go ahead and give the bumper a shot. Won't cost you much, except a bit of time. |

Keep in mind, that despite the supplies + porter cable costing at least $300. They are a good investment given they will pay you back detail after detail.
It sure beats paying $550-$1000 for a one time detail/correction. Think long term people! |

Of course, DIY is not a solution for everyone. You need a lot of patience, a bit of OCD attention to detail, and plenty of time. If you don't have one or more of those things, best to pay a pro. |
