How do you get scratches off bumpers?
I have some fine scratched on both front and the rear sport bumper. Is there anyway to get the scratches out? Or do I just need to save up for all new bumpers$$$$

I dont know of anything you can do for scratched/damaged chrome other than replate or replace it...

Re: How do you get scratches off bumpers?
depends how deep //some slight surface scratches can be buffed out with compound and buffing wheel then useing polish to finish
but you do run the rish of buffing thru the chrome because it is not very thick

Re: How do you get scratches off bumpers?
Chrome is not very forgiving. The more ouo rub, the more the scratches. You may be able to take alrger scratch and make it look better, but if you look, the metal is full of fine scratches and now you really hate yourself for doing it.

Re: How do you get scratches off bumpers?
I bought some new ones and they are now starting to rust through. I should have just gotten them rechromed. Don't buy chrome bumpers from Brothers.
