Default New bumper? Help! (pics, no 56k)

Well, I walked out of Arabica last week and found my bumper looking like this. It is fairly deep. It looks worse in person. So, can this be fixed for less than a new bumper + paint? Any input is appreciated! I hate walking to my car and seeing this. (Yeah, my exhaust is rusty too ) Thanks in advance!

try a good polishing compound followed by some wax. should take most of it out, the deep scratches would need touchup paint.

Hey Delco, did you know that your exhaust is rusty? Thought I might point that out.





Sorry man, I had to be the a-hole that said it.


That looks quite deep. Polishing compound and touchup paint would be your best bet as stated above.

you might find a quick repair place if you dont mind the quality, they will throw on some MarGlass and they spray it for cheap.

Try a polish & then go to the dealership & purchase a paint pen. They sell them to match your color car. I did that with my azure pearl tC & it's only $11 & lasts forever!

Yeah I know. I mentioned it in my first post . Not sure what went wrong. It's a Strup and I've had it on since October. I hear steel wool works?

Thanks for all the advice, I went to the dealership yesterday to see what they thought, but I made it there too late and they were closed.
