Advice needed re: minor scratches on front bumper
I have some minor abrasions on my front bumper just below the headlight water jets. As my car is black and it picked them up from slowly sliding onto a white wall (handbrake on, discs cooling scenario!) they look white. Haven't been able to improve things with a wash and a polish.
Any advice on how/ where I can get this sorted? How much?

Chips Away?
Seriously! On a black car they really shouldn't be able to get it wrong, I know a number of people on the board have had success with them even on Silverstone... approx

Anyone got a url or phone number for chipsaway?
I've got 2 or three small scratches and some chips on the front bumper too. Any idea on costs on sorting bumper/bonnet & rear wing?

Be careful - They came round and did my neighbour's silver Vectra (I Know....)
It's very flat! An Army staff car with moon camouflage paint.
I've also heard on this board it washes off with tar remover.
Try a tube of Honda paint, a very fine modeller's paintbrush and about 10 thin coats. It should come out OK.

Cheers
I'll try chips away. I have Berlina Black touch up paint but a bit nervous about applying it myself.
Is it a perfect finish or will I always be able to make out the marks?
