My front Warn bumper is starting to look a little marred after year in the Florida sun. What can I use to bring back the shine on it short of painting it? If used the black restorer I use on the fenders but that is not designed for metal so it doesn't work so well.

Honestly, I've always just considered repainting/re-powdering every year or two as part of owning a steel bumper. I usually scrape enough rocks that I touch them up until the end of the season and just have them recoated.

Spray paint and spray wax that doesn’t leave white residue works for me.

I always just use WD-40 every once in a while

I use that 3M cleaner/wax Eddie has on the wayalife amazon store for bumpers, sliders, fenders, wheels, and engine compartment... works great.

Not 100% sure it would work on the finish, but you might want to try tire shine on it. I know a lot of guys use that to clean up their frames and make them look new again.
