Just noticed today that I scraped the front bumper of my car while leaving the underground parking lot. The yellow paint is still there and it looks pretty horrible.

I don't have tons of money to spend and I'm worried thr dealer is going to charge me a lot. Any suggestions? Should I try fixing this on my own with products? And if so, what's the best product out there? I'm not very familiar with this stuff.

Thanks for your help

Stephanie

Ya I have no idea what that is. I think I'm better off going to a professional.

If you would just put forth the effort of trying to learn new things it would be much cheaper trust me. You could easily save $100.

Go to an auto parts store, ask for a clay bar, ask how to use it, follow the instructions. Meguiars sells one for around $20 that I've used in the past and it did an amazing job. Just try it.
