Prevention
While the best thing you can do to prevent a bumper scratch is to keep are vehicle tucked away and hidden forever, that obviously isn't possible. The next best thing is to understand what the most common causes of bumper scratches are and what you can do to avoid them. Unfortunately, your bumper is the most likely place for you vehicle to sustain damage. Even at very low speeds a collision or even a small rock can cause noticeable damage and bumper scratches.
Another common cause of bumper scratches is actually hitting or nicking an object such as tree or corner of your garage. The best thing that you can do is drive defensively and always error on the side of caution when passing by objects, roadblocks, and even parallel parking. While minimizing the chances of a bumper scratch is possible, completely preventing them is not. When you do see a scratch on your bumper, the first thing you should do is call a mobile bumper repair service and schedule an appointment.
Repairing a Bumper Scratch
The biggest mistake, once you see a scratch on your bumper, is to try to fix it yourself. The best option is a mobile bumper repair service because they save you time and money, as well as coming to your location, making it extremely efficient.
A mobile repair service will begin by cleaning the scratch and surrounding area, otherwise it could ruin the repair process. Next, they will likely use a two part epoxy because it not only is a strong bonding agent, but is also extremely flexible and easy to work with. After the epoxy has set, it will be sanded and smoothed in preparation of a very thin layer of filler.
Once the actual repair process has been taken care of, the next step is to prime, paint, and clear-coat the area. Mobile repair services will use an airbrush/spray gun to take care of this. The best part is that all of this can be done wherever you are, even your own driveway or office parking lot because, as the name implies, mobile bumper scratch repair services will come to you.
