woke up this morning to see this. parallel parking on a 1 way street

Anyone know if this is "removable?"

My guess is someone with a front license plate (screws) pulled out and hit my bumper in the process.


bumper was CLEANNN (no marks) a month ago.

I guess we have different ideas on the definition of "clean".

the one knick near the left exhaust, thats is though
i bought the car like that, the other marks weren't there.

Either way, your bumper wasn't perfect to begin with. Look at this as motivation to get a new bumper (or until you can park inside).

I guess my concern is is there any way I can remove these marks? The scratch is into the bumper (black coming out) so I'm guessing no but hoping for the best.

should be able to just buff that out bro. Awhile back i got side swiped in my truck and had a black mark along the whole side of my truck from their mirror cap. All if it came right off after about 30 minutes of buffing.

Same thing happened to me. Bastard hit my rear bumper with their license plate and you can see it. I learned to live with it. My paint didn't chip. Texas weather is so hot that it soften the paint so it looked like a fresh paint job and someone made an imprint of a screw when paint was drying. (not true but Texas is that hot!) Your options are : you can either pay top dollar to fix it right with paint and all, buy a new bumper and paint it, buy a used bumper that's in mint condition and matches your car color (good luck with that), or deal with it with some touch up paint. And that looks pretty deep into the bumper to be buffed out.

Cant you guys tell that this isnt paint transfer? These are deep gouges! Theres no "buffing out"

OP: Best thing to do (and theres a diy on this in the detail section) Buy the matching touch up paint, tape off every gouge, paint it in, let it dry. Wet sand the portions painted to level with the bumper then do a nice buff/polish to make it shine again. If done properly, you will not be able to see the repair at all.

Just buff it out. If not sand and respray.. Get a car cover.

Precisely! Aint no buffin that out. It's not a scuff, those are deep chips. Touch up, wet sand and clear is what you need to do followed by a nice polish and wax.
