can this be buffed out?

some jack$%! backed into me while i was parked getting a slice of pizza. of course nothing happened to his ford fusion. anyway, got an estimate for $1,000 to repair. it could have been alot worse i guess, just needs a new rear bumper.

1,000$ seems like alot, even if they replace the bumper I dont think it should be that high.

yeah, i had a crack on my front bumper and i asked infiniti what body shopped they used, and i asked that body shop and they told me it would be around $800 to replace the whole front bumper... so i couldn't imagine the back one being more...

Some Menzerna SIP and a Flex on speed 6 for about 10 minutes should take that right out.

Pop it back out, and if the paint is cracked or creased, you should be able to get it repainted, my front bumper repaint was only $475.
