I posted this a while ago in the 'Exterior' forum but have not had any reponse. So here we are in detailing.

Not too long ago, I decided to re-locate a large garbage can in the parking lot at work. I performed that move with the left corner of my rear bumper.

I didn't do major damage--to the car, but did cause some scraping on the bumper plastic. Does anyone have any tips on how to get rid of the scratches and return the original finish to the grey plastic?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

p.s. I also cause a small scratch in the wood trim on the transmission console when I was wiping off some pieces of grit. Any ideas how to get rid of a scratch on the wood trim?

Depends on how deep is the scratch...if you can feel it with your nails, you have to get that repainted. If not then some wet sanding with buffing will do the job.

audia6s,

I can't feel the scratches, but remember that ARs have the plastic bumper and fender flares...I don't think they are, or should be painted. I think, though, that the wet sanding could work, but I just don't know what to do the buffing with.

Thanks for your input, though.

Cheers,

john
