Hello, My name is Isaiah and I recently got a 2008 Honda Accord not to long ago. The front bumper was in pretty bad shape and I was wondering if buffing and polishing would work or its time for a new front bumper. Thanks for !Feed back please

There are some scratches that could possibly be buffed out, but most of the defects are rock chips which are inevitable for the front bumper. You will have to touch up with paint for these chips as the paint has been chipped off. But you will just end up with more chips in a couple months so I wouldn't sweat it. It is just the nature of the beast (front bumper).

I believe Dr. Color Chip has a video repairing rock chips on a plastic bumper cover like yours. Check out their website and you tube and you might find exactly what you need. Good luck!

I believe a lot of what I am seeing is where bugs have etched the clear. Not much that can be done as far as I know. The spots down to the black polyurethane are rock chips and can be touched up.
