You can definitely bring the shine back out however I do see clearcoat damage in the creases on the bumper. My rear bumper was starting to get dull luckily when my car went into the body shop they repainted it for me no extra charge.
You can have it repainted for $150-$200 it doesn't cost much. With as much as it would cost for a rotary and all the chemicals you could have it repainted.

Actually I thought it was clearcoat damage as well but with a little compound the color started to come right back. It's going to take a ton of elbow grease but everything is still there. Personally I'm shocked. There's a couple chips in the paint but other than that this bumper is practically perfect underneath all that oxidization.

It looks 90% oxidized granted but once it's all cleaned up the clear coat damage will start to show, trust me lol my bumper went through the same, all of ours do eventually

If oxidization comes back after the ultimate compound, use meguiars 105 compound and 205 polish.

Meguiars Ultimate compound works great. Only got to try it on my front bumper because it got too cold. Can't wait to clay bar, buff if with the meguiars compound and then buff it with a wax. Needs it badly
