What to use to clean the front and rear bumpers?
This is a general question for any new car with matched body color bumper covers. Do you guys use interior protectant like Armor All or simply wax it with rest of metal body. I have searched many places and I just can't find a straight answer for this question. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Armor All on paint?
Just wax them the way you wax the rest of the panels. I like to put an additional coat or two on the front bumper for added bug-rejection properties.

You are waxing /protecting the paint not what's under it . Get you some Maguier's NXT and use microfiber cloth . + 1 on the extra coat up front.

Technically, the bumper is the bar used to dissipate the impact energy. The bumper cover is the exterior shell that is painted.
And since this person's talking about front and rear bumper covers, I'm thinking it's not a bra.
Advice: Use the car wash shampoo you like and wax it as you would any other part of the car.
