well yesterday while driving to school i got into a fender bender w/ this old bmw luckey their car didnt take to much damage while my car got so scrap marks from there rubber bumper where we hit. I was wondering if that bumper scrap on my car can be buffed out or any thing else to get rid of it. Im lucky my ww lip didnt get damaged also.

well take a picture and ill tell you. working closely with the detail shop at honda for over 2years ive learned about alot of that stuff.

more than likely, some of it will buff out, but not all of it.

Depends if there's paint damage or not, just the plastic rubbing off would buff out, as long as the paint's still intact

it was mostly bumper i hit no plastic

I meant rubber, if there's just rubber rubbed off then you're fine. If it damaged your paint then you can't buff it off

what do u use to buff it out?

well you could do it by hand with some sort of compound or you could use a buffer.

i usually do it by hand, it still works.

I would buff by hand first to see the extent of the damage, then go to town with the buffer assuming the paint isn't damaged, god I'm getting sick of saying that

the bumper that i hit was like this

So here is pictures that happened to my front bumper. will this come off with compound? or maybe cover up with touch up paint?

Looks like the paint is scratched off, most of the red should buff off, the first pic looks like paint is scratched through to bumper

rice_plz

so i should just buy some compound or buffer and try it

good thing is its white, try to find a white that matches yours. try on some cardboard, primer it and paint it. see if it matches. when the match is found, sand the scratches smooth, paint it with the paint. wet sand. buff, wax. all done.

k cool i hope it comes off i can just get compound at autozone or pep boys right? as for the lip i just went to a shop in concord area and they did it for me they did a good job
