FYI: For your bumpers Darren, you treat them like paint. Same for factory and a lot of aftermarket rims. Why? They are clearcoated.
However, it looks like you have chrome exhaust tips, and for those, a polish like NXT All metal polysh is excellent. Its really good bang for the buck IMO...

I just assumed bottle only.( meant without hd inside).Yes, Im sure I'll order a couple more bottle onlys, This time with sprayers . lol
Well I got my order in today, and I have another question. What is the method to making the Hyper Dressing? I read from the bottle you fill to the preferred dilution line, and then what? Fill the remainder with pure HD? Doesn't sound right to me. Can anyone inform me of the proper procedure? Thanks.
So your saying that I'm not supposed to use it on my bumpers? My tips are polished stainless steel.

As the secondary bottle states:
"Add Water First to Proper Dilution Ratio"
So, if you want a 4:1 concoction, you add water to the 4:1 mark then add HD concentrate to the bottom/middle of the neck of the bottle. Shake. Spray.... You're now using a 4:1 dilution rate.
As for your bumpers -- not sure, looking at your truck, where you'd use it? Maybe the lower valence on the front end or the plastic step area on the tops of the rear bumpers? Certainly, I know you weren't suggesting utilizing it on the chrome; just the trim.
If it's black plastic, it's free game for HD. For those areas though, I'd recommend putting HD on an applicator (foam works great but I'll typically use a standard issue red shop towel or a terry rag) and apply it.
Another tip -- spray HD to the tires after washing and then dry the vehicle. Any over spray that lands on the paint will likely be removed by drying. If you forget to dress the tires/wells before you dry, simply QD the vehicle at the end (most of us do this anyway) to remove any blotchy over spray which may land on the paint.

And thank you for explaining how to dilute the HD
Much appreciated.

another tip for anyone needing a spray bottle- Tractor Supply has some that work equally as well but they are a bit sturdier and a little more resistent to breaking in cold weather for any that are like me and still stay on top of OCD'ness during the winter months.
Darren, you are going to love that stuff on your engine bay!
