what's the best way to remedy....?

pittcwhite · 01-21-2008, 02:05 PM

.....scratches on front bumper. I was coming home from work a week ago, down a steep hill and b4 I could react I hit a traffic cone that was laid on its side (supposedly to block a lrage pothole). I missed the pothole thank god, but was unable to avoid the cone; the result being a dented in bumper. I removed the bumper and popped it back out, worked like a charm.

Problem is that there are blemishes to the paint, nothing that is going to continue to chip, but enough that I would like to cover up the minor scratches to the ride. Are there any products, and/or techniques that I can use to mend them?
Please help!

people have a very different idea of what is minimal and what is really bad. so its tough to say what will take your scrathes out, if anythign at all. but try scratch-x...it seems to work good for moderate scratches.

hmmmm... hard to tell w/o pics but you may try a "light" scratch remover followed by a wax.
