Bumper Scratch and Brake Dust

[Callughan]

Hi Chaps need some help for an amateur from those in the know.

My 997's front bumper was lightly scuffed when someone was parking. The car has solid paint, is there any simple product I should try first. I have meguires scratch x from a couple years back, however from experience that is only effective on light scratches.

Also what is the best cleaner for stubborn brake dust on alloys.

The car will be detailed in Feb.

Why with a car like that would even consider doing it yourself with no experience when for not a lot of money you could get a local smart repairer to do it properly! Muck off is very good for cleaning alloys.

Bilberry is the best alloy cleaner (bought online) and then protect those wheels with a decent top layer. I would seek out a professional smart repairer for the parking ding.

Thanks for the information. Annoying as alloys refurbed and front bumper painted only 3 months ago.

Local car wash couldn't get the brake dust off, so will try your suggestions.

Heard many suggestions for bumper t-cut, scratch x, autoglym scratch repair. Ultimately will need to be re-painted.

You take your car to the locals? Daily smoker, yes, but a 911!
