    Unhappy Deep Scratches...

    I have some deep scratches on my rear bumper. Hit it with Menz FG400 and a flat Lake Country yellow pad, but some are still there.

    Am I stuck with them?

    I dont want to burn through my paint...

    If they catch on your fingernail, they will most definitely be "keepers" unless you decide to fill them in with touch up paint, wet sand them smooth, compound, and polish! :-)

    +1 on the procedure stated previously only thing I would do different is compound and polish by hand cause bumper paint is thin

    If you're going to be wet sanding pick up a paint thickness gauge.
