Ealry morning, half asleep, parking space next to a tight wall at work, cue lots of swearing! I'm fuming with myself, normally its the sort of thing you come back to in a car park when someone else has done it....

The scuff is on the plsatic bumper and i'm just after something to make it look better and stand out less.

Has anyone used a successful product on something similar? And no i dont want parking sensors or wall protectors before someone says! I've tried polishing it which has helped. I've got the astro black touch up paint from BMW which i have used on stonechips before but just a bit wary about using it on plastic in case there is a better product out there.

Cheers

Needs painting I'm afraid. Smart repair should sort it though

Yes a localised repair should be OK because of where it is. It'd be another story on a bonnet for instance...

been quoted £100 from chips away to get rid. Seems like a lot for such a small area but he said it would take a couple of hours including drying time.

Sounds about right for the size of damage to me.
