Scratch removal suggestion.

[automass]

Hi guys,

 

Just got scratch on the left side of my rear bumper, not deep...just git rubbed with the wooden fence in a little alleway while reversing.

 

Can anyone suggest me anything that really works like magic and without any hassle. I have used T-cut and some other from the local shop previously. They were just waste of money.

 

So please guys help me out.

Try a metal polish like solvo autosol or mothers metal polish ,they usually work to remove scuffs as long as there not deep ones.

T Cut has done the job it is meant to for decades, as do other light use rubbing compounds.

'T-Cut Colour' does a job as well, it might just not work magic, the colours used can make a difference between good or so so.

Got any pictures?
 

I’ve had fairly decent results using car clay to improve a scuff, but still had to hit it with a machine to completely get rid of it.

I reckon you will be able to reduce it/lose some of the white, but it looks like you’re done to the base coat/primer or plastic of the bumper in places. 
 

T-cut will be ok, but will require some elbow grease. I would use a mixture of everything I’ve mentioned to reduce it as much as I could.

That needs wet flatting through several grades of wet n dry paper followed by compounding & T cutting which would get rid of most of the white.

 

HOWEVER!

 

It is already through the clear coat, colour coat and primer to the bare plastic in at least 2 places and the rest of it will be somewhere between that and recoverable scratches in the clear coat, that would be fine on a flat panel with someone experienced & who knows exactly when to stop & say, "if I go any further it will be a lot worse & then I will be into colour matching & spraying the base coat and lacqueur & cutting back" also with it being on a sharp edge even someone doing it day in day out will end up rubbing through to the base coat.

 

So the OP being inexperienced should limit themselves to the less abrasive methods, - T-cut but with carefull considered strokes & not too much pressure.

 

It has the potential to look quite a bit better but far more chance of looking a lot worse in my view, but for the raised edge I could do an almost invisible job with a small amount of hand touching in.
