Subject: Suggestions for polishing the metal on the bumpers? Author: DavidC (moderator) : member since December, 2003 : 12116 posts Posted on: 2004-05-23 12:55:39

The metal bumpers on my '86 735i are severely faded and dull-looking. I've tried simple metal polish with no effect. Any suggestions on how to bring back the shine?
