Looks great !

This usually is the culprit !

see if they have a portfolio they can show, or on their website?

With any coating, the prep is key, so if you are applying yourself, there are a lot of youtube videos to help get an idea before you order a bottle and DIY :) Good luck!

I mean i guess best bet now is to get a price of blending vs painting the whole bumper and seeing if the premium is worth it. I have seen some very bad blending, but on my other car, i cant see the blend at all. so garage dependant ! But i will be wary :)

BMC make a airfilter for the c250CDi, not sure on gains though, did sound better.

remember after touching up to "blend it out" meaning to polish it so it is less obvious. in some cases, maybe even sanding it

sealants and waxes just cover it up. it will come back after a few washes. Polish the scratches out, then apply a coating which will protect the paint underneath. a coating is ceramic, whilst making your car look better it is also a lot thicker than wax and sealants.

Try carpro DLUX, or the back to black plastic trim restorers.

If it catches nail, it can be made to look better, but very hard to get out without removing too much paint. If it doesnt catch the nail, wet sand, compound and polish will do.

Blending itself is pretty difficult, i would either touch it up, or paint the whole bumper.

re-dying could be an option, depending on the damage.

Gauge the seller is the best way to see if the car has been taken care of

as above wire wool and metal polish. seal it for longer lasting results.

Any luck with the breakers on ebay?

the ebay ones i brought have lasted around 4/5 years, so worth a buy !

Looks great, well done !

This looks great, 120grit sounds aggressive, but clearly looks to have worked !

This looks like a perfect amount of shine.

Its my go to, having tried many over the years. its not difficult to apply, just apply sparingly. It last a long time vs other waxes too. The light and dark has no difference, just a marketing tool.
