Message	Well, it looks like all the painted sheet metal that got stained was salvagable. All but one area completely cleaned with just a mild clearcoat cleaner (1 step above a liquid rubbing compound). One area needed a rubbing compound followed by a hand glaze but did not go through the clearcoat. The wheel well portions of the bumbers are toast though. The flexing agent used to paint the plastic went through everything, so I'll be submitting a claim to my insurance company for that.
