It will "relax" the plastic so it doesn't reappear. And I just sand it back down again when it is dry. Just a thought, I dont know how factory correct you are trying to make this, but I know 71 Challengers had a rubber (or what ever it is called) bumper option. So you could get away with painting them with the rest of the car. I am doing that on my 71.

I'm definitely going to have to remember that liquid cement tip
