Aloha,
Is there anyway to repair a scratched bumper? Just bought an used 2006 CR-V and it has some scratches in the front bumper, probably the previous owner scraped a wall or something, not too bad though. Is there a way I can sand it down with the finest sand paper and then polish it with Armor All??
Thanks ahead for any suggestions.

EddieYou will need to thoroughly clean it first, sand with very mild sandpaper to smooth it and then paint. Armor All won't "polish" it.

The bumper itself is not painted, it's the natural color of the plastic which is like a black color.

when you sand the bumper down it's going to take off some of the color so you'll need to apply a light coat of paint and maybe some clear coat.
After that you should buff it out.
