FAQs
Can a plastic bumper be repaired?
Yes, plastic bumpers can be repaired as part of a plastic bumper repair job.
It may be possible to repair plastic bumpers on cars, depending on the severity of the damage. If a plastic bumper is scratched or slightly dented, it can be buffed or sanded smoothly to restore its original surface. When buffing and sanding a plastic bumper, it is important to use a nonabrasive wax and buffer specifically designed for plastic so as not to damage the surface further.
However, replacing the bumper entirely may be the best option for more serious plastic bumper damage. Damaged plastic bumpers that are cracked or more deeply dented can often only be saved by completely replacing the damaged parts, ensuring that your car looks as good as new.
