Front bumper grill?

Z-WHIZ · 03-25-2010, 05:38 PM

So I was wiping down the grill on my bumper today and my fingernail brushed against it ever so slightly. When I took my hand away, to my shock I found that it left a nice long scratch. I can't believe the plastic is so sensitive. That being said - is there anything I can do to repair it, short of replacing the bumper?

Clip your nails man. You know what they say about an ounce of prevention.

Seriously though, on a previous car I put some nicks into the leather on my steering wheel with my finger nails. It really p*ssed me off too, because they some of them were more like deep cuts than nicks. Now I'm almost obsessive-compulsive about keeping my nails trimmed. It's funny how cars can make one change his habits!

First thing that popped into my head. "What was that crap they sold on TV that restored the paint on cars in wrecking yards instantly?!"

I hear you, but my nails are actually freshly clipped. The plastic just seems to mark so easily.
