Need Tips On Repairing Scratches/Gouges Under Front Bumper

Hello everyone!

I recently forgot about how low the front bumper is when going entering my brothers driveway. My question to you is this, are there any tips/tricks I can use to get those dang scratches/gouges out from under the front bumper? You can't see them unless you get down on the ground but I know they are there and they have to go!

Cheers!
Jon

I had the same thing happen to me on a massive parking block. It almost ripped off my front bumper, quite scary.

Lightly sanding and painting is all I can think of. It won't be perfect, but at least better than leaving it gouged up. I always back up into parking slots where there are curbs......... There's a whole lot more clearance in the back than front.

Most dealers have someone who does bumper repair and professional repaint touch up. It would probably cost about $150 to fix.

I have the same thing on my car, although I have no clue how it got there, maybe when it was in for an oil change...

I'm going to solve that with a CDC chin spoiler
