Need help with mistake
My rear bumper was mistakenly treated with 3m imperial hand glaze, and now the paint looks like crappola/bumper is all scratched up. It's a black A4, is there an easy fix for this?

Not sure what the problem is...
IHG is not abrasive so unless it was used on a dirty car there shouldn't be a problem. Are you having a hard time removing it? Maybe try lightly misting it with some water or detailing spray to help buff it off? It can be very difficult to remove once it dries.

ihg may have......
removed all of the fillers, silicon, wax and so on from the surface so that now what's revealed is a "clean" bumper with the usual surface imperfections. if this is the case then you will need to apply you favorite "black paint" products to recreate the previous look. while it's possible to machine buff the defects, this takes more skill and time on the angular surfaces fo a bumper.
of course this assumes that the glaze has been completely removed and the material used to apply it didn't damage the paint, but ihg does a good job of cleaning paint and clean paint shows surface imperfections most clearly...
cheers

This had no effect. Anyhow, here is a picture of the bumper.
