Friends: 0 |  Scrape on bumper Well our new Prius is no longer pristine  .In less than one week I have my first scrape. It happened yesterday in the office parking lot. Seems the person next to me scraped my left rear bumper when they pulled out. I will try to remove the scrapes with some cleaner wax this weekend. If the scrapes go below the outer paint coating does anyone have a recommendation on the best way to repair the damage? The irony is that I have been parking in the same spot with my old car for the last five years and never had anything happen, so now with a new car I get scraped in just three days. Thanks, Mike |

Friends: 0 | one of the products that I use for minor scrapes and "hazes" is called GT88, it's as good as the stuff they use at the body shop. In fact when I was there on an unrelated subject they noticed a spot on the paint and proceded to "remove it" and when I got home I noticed some slight scratches where they had been working on it and removed them with GT88 and a soft cloth. And I have no connection with the company. It's just one of the products that I use to take care of my vehicles and only the ones that work stay in the kit.

Friends: 23 | Re: Scrape on bumper Thanks. I assume the instructions are on the bottle? I may need it to 'remove' some of the scratches off the Camry. Waxing didn't seem to help. |

Friends: 0 | It's kind of a liquid paste hard to describe but just put a couple of drops on a soft cloth and rub in one direction only. On rubs and scrapes I'm not afraid to put a bit of muscle into it. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Scrape on bumper I was able to get most of the scratches off but there are two where the silver paint was gauged down to the black base. Has anyone had experience with a product that I can use to cover over the deep scratches. On my last car I used touch up paint that came in a small tube to cover dings and chips in the paint surface. Is there a recommendation on a simular product for the Prius? Thanks, Mike. |
