I have a 2006 Red Brawn Xterra and the front bumper has some minor scratches on it. Its just some swirling and lines but i dont know what to do to repair it because it is plastic. Does anyone have a product that they recommend to repair this ? Thanks

Is it a painted bumper? If so get a tub of medium rubbing compound and buff it well. What kind of scratches are we talking about here? Pine tree pinstriping or kamikaze grocery cart scratches?

someone scraped my front bumper with their bumper. My bumper is not painted it is a plastic - kind of gray. I'll post a picture if i can but what do you recommend for a plastic bumper. They are pretty minor but you can still see them. They are a lighter color. Is there some kind of filler or cover that you can put over it?

Your best bet is probably to take all the plastic off and paint it. There are a few how-tos around on the subject.
