Hi guys,
New here to the forum...I noticed some scratches on the lower part of my Mustang's front bumper. It's the unpainted lower corner. I think it is from driving out on a steep driveway onto the street. Any ideas how I can smooth out the scratch? Maybe 1000 grit sandpaper? Here is a photo to give you an idea which part of the bumper...thanks for your suggestions in advance:

 

That kind of plastic isn't going to sand well; it''ll just start to ball up and turn into a bigger mess. If you have a steady hand, you can try to shave the high spots with a double edged razor blade.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, J1000...that just might work...I was also thinking about using a hot knife and rubbing the rough corner smooth...do you think that's too risky?

 

Any other suggestions from the pros here? Thanks.

 

I agree. Once you shave it with the blade, you can quickly pass heat over it to smooth it. I know from experience...scraped mine on day 2 of owning my car! After I shaved it, I used a small butane torch that I normally use for soldering and shrink-wrapping wires. Just a quick pass over it melts off any sharpies sticking out. Good luck!

 

Thanks for sharing your exprience, Dewyrussler...this helps!!!
