northernuk Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I have some odd scratches that have appeared on my front bumper infront of the tyre. They are circular and pretty deep so a bit bemused (and hacked off) about what they may be. Possible kick do you think? That aside, what are my best options to try and dumb them down? Polish, T-Cut, get them properly touched up? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruddles Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Looks more like it may have been made by someone walking past carrying something, only takes a careless person trying to squeeze past! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff-r Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Very odd, looks like someone has used a brillo pad on your bumper. With regards to making it less noticeable, how deep are they? Down to the plastic? You could try t-cut them but to be honest unless you at least try to buff it with a cutting compound it may not touch it and even then it could fail. Re-spray? I feel for you, someone banged my bumper and made deep marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go with that apart from the fact I will walk for miles to make sure I don't park within a car's length of anyone else and go up a level at multistory just to find an empty spot with spaces either side. My anal approach to parking makes me the laughing stock at home but I don't care. First thread I saw here was the 'Naughty Neighbour' one so happy to do whatever to avoid anything like that.

That has made me feel a lot better. I have a slighly rough finish to the front bumper/skirt having quite a high mileage and lots of motorway miles due to stones so can kill two birds with one stone here. Only thing I am worried about is it feels bad with the raised edges so just hope this isn't down to the plastic. Will try do a comparison as per the linked thread when it's done.
