Well its been a week plus taking the waves out of the front bumper. We use sem bumper repair to fill the deep areas after proper sanding and prep. We wait a day between recoatings for dry time then sand prep and fill again. Then we use the 2 part 3M bumper repair material to finish , again allow the proper dry time. After a week plus of straightening the bumper its now straight and going in primer. You will see many rings of applications to get it straight. Take a look at it wet its there now !!!!!

Wow no wonder those plastic surgens get so much money for straightening a nose!
I'd like to read up on that process. Thanks for the insight.
