Cleaning USA Spec Bumpers??

Postby john 215 » 26 Oct 2007 12:11

Hi,
I brought a set of second USA spec bumpers this morning from Robsport,the rear is fine however the front is slightly marked,poss by leaning against a white fence post and some of the paint has rubbed off. Have tried soapy water no joy [:(]. Just wondered what you guys over the other side of the pond (or anyone else) uses to clean or cover marks up with.
Thanks for any advice,
Cheers John.

They're painted? both my '7's had hard rubber like bumpers. I've been told you can sand them, so you might be able to use a buffing compound of them as well..Personally I'd wait until somebody who knows what they're talking about respsonds haha..

I sanded mine and painted them with a satin flexible bumper coat paint. When I get the occasional scuff, I just sand lightly and touch up with the paint.

John, your's are black and some white paint has rubbed off on them, right?

Clean them with some acetone followed by Meguiars Vinyl/Rubber Protectant. Spray on let set for a few minutes and wipe well to spread.
