Default Scratched Bumper Help

Just found this nice surprise after unloading groceries (!!!)

I sprayed on a quick spray to clean area. Not happy No dents.

I have some ScratchX that I havent tried yet but am pretty certain it will not get ride of this rash.

I have heard good things about Meguiars Ultimate polish and will see if i can order a bottle.

Anyone have any help or experience with this? cheers, and stay safe!!


its a grey nx

closer

even closer

I could fix that in less than 5 mins. It isn't that bad. Except where the paint was taken down to the primer. That will require some touch up. I use Griot's products exclusively for all my detailing needs. Their BOSS system is simply awesome. I would use the fast correcting cream, my variable speed orbital buffer (Also Griot's) and an orange pad. But that's just me.

If you were close to me I would do it for you for a Coke. It seriously won't take long. But no, you can't do it by hand. You can rub some of it out but probably not all of it.

ive made progress with my top scape up but the bottom part on the black bumper not so much. Is it ok for me to use a compound and DA on the actual bumper? Has anyone done so?

I wouldn't use a DA on that black part. It isn't too forgiving. I didn't realize that was black textured plastic. Unfortunately it can only be painted over or replaced. That isn't something you want to buff on.
