Bumper scuff advice?



Parked up last night some kind person scuffed my bumper and clipped the mirror. The mirror looks pretty easy to sort, but is there anything I can do with the bumper using my assorted Autoglym products?

Go very careful!!

That bumpers been painted before and it looks like a smart repair. The paint may not be very thick/hard and you could do more damage than is already there.
 
  Dodgy one
Mirror looks to polish off but the bumpers going to require a paint unfortunatly, Shouldnt cost a lot though! ~£70
 
How can you tell its been painted before from that pic? You're right though, as there's overspray inside the arch.

Top left of the pic theres a bit of s**t under the paint, and bottom right you can see its going a bit orangey peel.

I can spot paint repairs from miles away mate! lol.
 
Might get the 2000 grit out on the orange peel, now you mention it ive been out to look at it and it's pretty bad.

Do we think ScratchX or similar could help the graze?

General rule is, if you can feel the scratch with your nail, its too deep to polish out.

Worth a try though, as it may take the edges off some of the scratches and make it less noticeable.
