Rear Bumper situation

beaZt · 10-15-2010, 02:24 PM

Trash guys left my recycling bin in the middle of my driveway, was backing out of the garage and didnt see it, scraped up my rear bumper pretty good, all cosmetic did not crack or dent the bumper....so pissed anyone got any tips on fixing that, or should i just leave it?

Post some pics. Try to buff it out with some paint cleaner and a buffer. Otherwise you have to use some touch up paint and or respray it.

Definitely post some pictures. Based on how severe it is you may be able to fix or at least reduce it yourself.

Rear view camera comes in handy for seeing low/short things. But yah, chances are u can polish it off.

Yo. so how bad was this? If it didn't gouge the bumper and chip paint. Try a small area with a cleaner wax. Dab it on and lightly rub with index finger allow to dry then polish off. Sounds silly perhaps but, it worked for me though I hit a shrub. Hope all is good.
