    Driver hit my bumper today - Deep scrapes

    Unlicensed, uninsured driver ran into my lane on a 2 lane turn and scratched up the side, corner, and rear of my bumper. Scratches are deep down to the black plastic. I hate the idea of a repaint on my bumper, it was mint as new. I'm guessing it's gonna cost at least $2-300 to repair and paint...

    Color question - Anthracite , like a reg black or a metallic

    I'd like to get maximum depth, pop, and clarity and bring out the flakes in my dark gray metallic paint. Does this color react more like the solid blacks or more like silver metallics to wax/polish? Car is 1 year old, had never been waxed. It had cobwebbing. 75% of the webbing is now...

    Removing spoiler, plug the holes?

    I want to remove my spoiler but I will have 4 holes in the trunk lid . Would some of those flat snap covers you see over screws etc in cars work to plug the holes? I could paint them to match the paint. I don't think I'd mind this considering how much re-painting the trunk lid would cost...

    My new Acura is scratch swirl city

    The seller of my new 03 CL lives in a dusty, dirt area and apparently the paint took the worse of it. Anthracite metallic with light scratches all over the car. I am a newbie and have no machine. I think I'm gonna have to trust a local detailer to hopefully fix it. I'd love to do it myself...

Is there anything I can easily buy that will help protect the front bumper from nicks, rocks, road debris? Someone said spray wd40 on the bumper to keep bugs and crud off but I'm not sure...
