A lil scratch doctor and intense buffing did the trick! Probably one more round of buffing left. This gives me more time to find a new bumper :)

and Oh and any scratches you see on the bumper are actually just reflections of trash on the floor lol!

That actually looks really good. You just used "Scratch Doctor?" I'm sold!! Did you do it by hand? You have tell us the tricks. How exactly did you apply this because I would think if my bumper looked like that then I would be SOL! Good job

haha thanks guys.

It was actually me, my mom, and my brother. It was mothers day too lol, but i had got her some good gifts so don't bash me haha. Im gonna do one more buffering session, cuz i kinda rushed this. my dad was comin home and I had to make it as little noticable as possible.

Basically I jus washed the car to take off all the dirt and bugs and stuff. I dried it with a microfiber towel. Then I got some microfiber applicators and applied some dr.scratch stuff.

I then went in a back and forth motion horizontally. You have to go really rough and put alot of energy when doing this or you won't get off as much. Make sure u clean ur car well before putting on the drscratch cuz u don;t want to scratch the paint with left over dirt.

You will reach a point where the back and forth motion won't work anymore though. Now your gonna have to go to each small paint mark and buff it out indvidually (this is the annoying part) It''ll come off eventually.

The main thing is to put alot of energy when buffing, or notin will come off. i got hella tired after a while and took a break lol.


Yea the only thing is that circle in the middle. But this buys me more time to find a bumper ya know. at least i can roll to meets now w/o being embarassed haha.


EDIT: No this was all by hand lol. Lets just say my arm was dead afterwards haha.
