Paint and light scratches on bumper - removal?

[Diablo SVTT]

My sisters share a 2005 Fiesta, in a light blue colour, identical to the picture below:



Some tt has reversed into it, leaving paint transfer and some light scratches on the bumper, and then obviously driven off without leaving a note. I have managed to remove most of the paint with just a wet cloth and some gentle scrubbing but I can't shift it all, nor can I address the light scratches. I've tried to take a picture of it but it isn't very noticable due to the light.

I tried some wax and polish that we had in the garage but since the bumper is the area affected, it is plastic and therefore difficult to polish in any kind of way. I have a sham leather cloth and it just glides over the area.

I don't really wish to shed out ££ on polishing machines and expensives waxs/polishes but obviously I am open to suggestions.

Cheers in advance

Menzerna Intensive Polish on the cutting side of a German applicator pad should do the trick for light scratches. Or if you know anyone with some Autoglym Super Resin Polish give that a try first. Stay well clear of t-cut. Then a nice layer of wax over the top. If you get stuck give me a shout. I'm in Essex. If you're not too far away you can run it down and I'll take a look at machine polishing it for you. hth.

Cheers mate, will get round to that soon.

I've got some light scratches on my black A3, courtesy of someone's key (which I never got round to fixing). Would these same products work on that? I'm pretty sure they are light because I can't feel them with my nail nor can I see the primer

Yes. The Menzerna would be the way to go. VAG paint is uber tough, the granite of factory car paint lol. AG SRP has fillers in it which will help mask the scratch but won't correct the scratch as much as the Menzerna.

If you get stuck give me a shout

I take it this is the stuff to use then?

I'll see if I can get round to end of this week coming but I have a feeling it may be a bit later than that lol.

Whereabouts in Essex are you based by the way? I'm over in West London;

I removed quite a lot of secondhand paint from a friends car using a claybar.

'Safe cut' by Turtle Wax is very good for minor scrapes.
