tips paint bumper, trim, dings before after

I just salvaged might paint color that I thought I would have to paint immediately for sure. But after some compund and elbow grease the red popped. But I still have t-top clearcoat failure, rest of car is single stage, and bumpers of course are spidered and the door bumper guard is peeling and faded.

Before:



1: Any good tips to spot repair the roof. with rattle can? I was thinking light wet sand, fill primer tape about 10% wider then the actual damage, spray,sand spray sand,buff,clearcoat and call it a day


same for the lower bumper.

2: the door trim, in past i used touch up brush on these and come out pretty good but it is peeling bad, any good glue to hold in place?

after my polish
