El moron buddy wasn't paying attention and love tapped my rear bumper. No dents or anything, it was a slow hit while he was trying to park, but it did cause what looks to be scuffing/possibly scraping on the chrome along where his front plastic bumper hit. Anyone know of a way to fix this or is the only cure a new bumper? Been trying turtle wax chrome polish to no avail. Thanks.

you might need to use a Dremel on low speed with a felt bob or wheel and some jeweler's rouge.

sometimes what actually happens is you end up with the softer material, deposited on the harder surface.
 






Try some polishing compound. If that doesn't do the job, you might have to go to rubbing compound. You can get either at K-Mart or Wal-Mart. Turtle wax (among many others) makes both of them.
 






If you can feel the scratches, they're too deep to polish out. If you can't, try a good metal polish, like P21S Metal Polish. That's the best stuff I have found.

peace

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm going to run the gamut on those products trying to fix it.
