Can anyone suggest the best way to restore a scratched/aged bumper? My artic white 97 is immaculate but the rear bumper seems to have changed color over time. I want to repair a couple of minor scratches in the bumper but it appears to have changed color and is no longer as white as the rest of the car. If anyone else has dealt or is dealing with this problem I'd appreciate hearing from you. Any and all help, information and/or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

up try waxing it to liven up the color a bit. Do u have the sam problem with the front?

 

the colors of the bumper are usually different than the rest of the body, it depends on the angle u look at it from. u should try to clay it or even compound it lightly. if that does not work then u must repaint it.

 

buy some of that turtle wax polish. the kind thats white,black, bluue, green. whatever color your car is. i use this on my black max. really touches the bumpers up nicely.

 

If all else fails, before you go and have it repainted..

wetsand it lightly with 1500 or 2000 grit paper, then buff with ultra-fine cut rubbing compound. then wax/glaze and it should look good as new. just dont put alot of pressure on it when you sand so you dont burn the paint... just rub lightly and keep it night and wet.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I do not have the same problem with the front bumper.

 

Thanks to all who responded to my question! I appreciate your help, time and attention.
Happy holidays to all!
