Anyone had small bumper scruffs removed by specialist firms? I have a small scuff on a plastic bumper and need a rough idea of cost.

Is it a plastic (i.e. black/dark grey) bumper or a body coloured one? I'm not sure Chipsaway do plastic.

As a rough idea, they charge around £90 +VAT for a moderate scratch.

If it is black/grey (non painted) bumper and not very deep you can give it a sand with very fine 800 paper - then apply peanut butter (fine not coarse) to the whole bumper - brings it up like new - better than the Back to type products.

then apply peanut butter


Birds like peanuts. I can just imagine a row of bluetits on the bumper pecking away like mad!

How deep are the scuffs ? Do they go all the way through the paint ?
My wife left our S60 parked the other day and came back to find the corner of the rear bumper pretty badly scuffed.
The had really thumped the car and kept going along the rear panel, taking the paint off to the plastic on the clip in plastic protector. They had hit the bumper hard enough to dislodge it from the plastic clips in the rear wing.
I took the protector out and had it resprayed at a local bodyshop for £13.50 all in.
The rest of the bumper I used a scratch remover on. It cleaned the paint up pretty well there is now only a minor kink in the plastic which I may be able to remove at a later date with a hairdryer if I can be bothered.
