Looks great! What kind of work is involved with that kit?
The kit has some oxidation removal towelettes first, then a quick wet sand with 2000 and then 3000 using a little round holder and then wipe the clear sealer on. Easy peasy.

Today I buffed out the damage down the whole passenger side of the hoe and managed to get the rear bumper to snap back into the fender. It looks so much better. I will remove the whole bumper at some point and try the hot water trick to try and get the dent out. I also ordered a used OEM right tail light because it’s broken, as well as brackets for the running board so it’s not pushed in. I might try to find a replacement RB later. I just finished my last round of chemo yesterday so I’m taking it easy. I got a bunch of other stuff dialed in on it. I don’t care for all the memory stuff and finally figured out why the passenger mirror was getting all whacked out every time I put it in reverse or forward and the seat would go crazy. The PO had it set up real weird, like they never figured it out so they must have adjusted everything every time, there was no way it was usable like it was set. Also found out the stereo has Sirius XM so that’s a bonus. It was a good day. Before pics.
