Bumper Scuff & Plastic Trim Repair (without Paint)

Thanks for joining me on the channel, I hope you enjoy & find it useful. Accidents happen, and this Nissan Juke got a little bit too close to the garage door frame than its owner intended. I’m pleased with the improvement, but think they’ll be a part 2 for this with paint…

I look forward to your comments & please subscribe.

There are many annoying and long videos with horrible descriptions and outcomes. This one is refreshing. Clear explanation and realistic results. Worth it.

Regarding plastic trim a trick ive used in the past to remove marks, use a heat gun on a low to medium heat you will be amazed to see the " grey scuffed" plastic change to black again

The products you used I have not heard of! It would help viewers if you could suggest where one can purchase these products! I tuned onto your blog as I have a minor scuff on my wing! Great how you removed most of the damage, yet your blog never lived up to what you stated in repairing scuffs without the use of paint!

tip for the trim, if it's plastic.
sand it w/ increasing -> fine sand paper, then heat torch it to resurface it. (or use trim restore kit)

Great job. Very straightforward and detailed/concise. Thank you.

Not bad at all! I hit my 4runners fender flares on a concrete wall coming out of my garage and was looking for a way to fix the scratches I got. This may work very well for my application as the material is much like the jukes fender flares all along the bottom

Stellar job. I have a scratch in the black wheel trim plastic on my car; this video was very helpful.

brill ! saved me a lot of money on professional repair..

[RamseyCarey]

Wow this is great, really good work and easy to understand!

[JJAM]

Nice work. I reckon a bit of touch up paint in the deeper scratches would finish this off nicely.

My bumper looked all smudged after following his advice. Thankfully a fresh coat of clear coat fixed it

[MrOmerta]

Hi there which sander paper are you using? 500? 🙏🙏🙏

[thingsido]

As a DIY approach you managed to get a very good result, the majority of pro detailers can charge you easily 300 quid for it and for the same result or slightly better. Now you working on a Nissan which typically have softer clearcoat then let's say a Golf or an Audi, which can make the job a fair bit harder. But still very good job!! You didn't cowboy it like most other DIY-ers on the Tube which I like, used the right tools in the right order. 👌👌

I did something similar in my 2003 CRV. Trying to pull into a parking space and not hit a £120k Range Rover, sadly I just touched the brick wall and it looks the same as your damage. I have a colour match touch up paint for the bad areas but may need lower grade wet/dry sanding paper as I only have 1200 and 2000 grit. When I wash my car I use Aito Glym plastic and bumper gel which should work just as good after sanding the black plastic

[anthonymann]

Hi thank you- wasnt clear about the angel wax regenerate. Didnt you need to put paint in first to fill in the deep scratches?

[Sir-Kay]

Could you tell me, what 3" polisher was that? what brand was it? is it a DA, rotary, brushed or brushless etc.

[lunacallie]

Actually looks good and i think your paint color number is inside drivers door and a light paint stick touch up on the 2 remaining scratches and good to go😁 but im a dummy so i dunno😁

Nice work great video. Thank you for sharing.
