Glad to hear it ended well!
I suppose the story is also a cautionary one for all of us (like myself) planning to use a DA machine for the first time ...

I did this to my E85 on the rear bumper my using a DA polisher with the 3" pad too aggressively. Lessen well learned. It burns the paint VERY easily on the plastic parts of the car like the bumpers. Halfords do an excellent touch up kit for £12. Got it looking quite good.

Glad it all sorted, nothing worse than frustration of causing it yourself :thumbsup:

Did the rest of the car today and she's looking great. No photos as it was dark by the time I'd finished.
