How do I remove scratches from my car bumper?
I backed into a bush and my bumper got scratched by the branches. How do I remove scratches from my car bumper?

- First, you’ll need to buff the scratches with 3,000-grit sandpaper. Make sure you wet the sheet with water to avoid too much dry friction and continue buffing until the scratches aren’t visible anymore.
- Next, wipe the surface with a clean cloth and apply a polishing compound. You can find this compound, as well as a polishing pad, at many auto parts and department stores.
- Then, use the polisher head of a drill to polish the area until it is slightly hazy. Wipe off excess compound with a microfiber towel.
This should make your bumper look new again!
