polishing plastic bumpers

Hi,
Any suggestions for polishing the plastic bumpers.
I would like to increase the shine and also protect the front bumper better.
Can i use a cleaner wax on this area?

Yes, but be carefull and don't let the surface heat up to much

When you say plastic bumpers, are they painted, or just bare plastic like on some Saturns?

Becareful polishing plastic bumpers because they do not dissipate heat as well compared to metal. Lower the aggressiveness of the pad by one step.

how do you know if the bumper part is plastic? I have two urethane bumpers, a fiberglass, fiberglass reinforced carbon fiber, but I have never touched a plastic bumper that has been painted.

Oh, are we not talking about the standard bumpers now? I'm pretty sure they are all plastic or are we talking about "special" bumpers?
