Just got her today. 2010 w 98k miles and in great shape from having prepurchase inspection at Nissan dealer.

Couple quick as:
1- Bumper has some deep old bug marks, can that be buffed out or just needs repainting?

2- Looking for a set of 19” rays tires and wheels


Tia,

Wash/strip any residue that’s there. Then try using a clay bar first. If that doesn’t remove them, you can try a light compound. If the coumpund works, great, then follow up with a polish and finally a wax/sealant.

If still that doesn’t work, you can try wet sanding with really fine paper. But be careful with this if you are not accustomed to it. Then follow with a compound or polish ( depending on sanding mark depth).

Thanks for the info. Sounds too complicated for my skills. I may just go the route of having the bumper repainted professionally.
