Default Scratch on Bumper
Hello everyone! I have a 97 Siver A4. I was pulling into a parking spot this morning, but knowing the stubborn person I am, i thought I wouldnt have to reverse. I was wrong. I ended up grazing the minivan that was parked and my bumper was scratched in the process (passenger corner).i I have some paint residue from the other car on my bumper. How do I get rid of it? or come very close to it. I heard turtle wax is pretty good for the job. Any advice would be very helpful.

Don't laugh, but Wd-40 works great. Downside is it will take off your wax.

Try a little bit of rubbing compound. It should buff right off. If that doesn't work, Claybar.
