Looks bad. You gotta be careful with rubbing compound you can fuck your paint finish up if you use the wrong technique, remember this stuff is an abrasive paste and what it is doing is removing a fine level of Clearcoat, if you rub to hard you can go thru the clearcoat and cut the paint, then its a respray/touchup job. If i were doing this i would use Polishing Compound which is less abrasive, then i wld use a polish and a wax/sealant and i would use a damp microfibre towel not a paper cloth.

I saw Autozone guys recommending Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound T-230 and Turtle Wax Polishing Compound T-241 to customers without asking what kind of pain they are working on. Turtle Wax, however, strongly recommends, for clear coat, trying products that are less aggressive than those two. On clear coat, Rubbing Compound T-230 will create haze and scratch that are very hard to fix by hand. Polishing Compound T-241 is milder than T230, but it also creates some visible scratches on clear coat.

stupid video! thanks to this i screwed up my car paint, it looked better before with the scratch, now it has small scratches surrounding the one i was trying to get rid off plus the paint has this no shine to it !!!

DO NOT USE RUBBING COMPOUND, save yourself a headache.

if u want to fix that no-shine spot, just get some touch up spray paint (car brand) from a auto store. cover up and tape off any places u dont want the paint to hit using newspaper and painters tape( found at any hardware store). spray from top to bottom about 6" away, then spray at a 45 degree angle from top to bottom to avoid tiger striping.

polish and wax it afterwards.

woe that rubbing compound really works.

yea you should have used polishing compound instead because now it looks flat and hazy compared to the wrest of the bumper paint. And its says right on the rubbing compound container to use a wet cloth, rubbing with a back and forth movement, and dont use on plastics. But hell it did take the crap off :)
