Useless neighbour = bumper damage

[djmac56 0]

One of my neighbours has what should be a lovely car - 2006 plate Red Golf Mk5, but all wheels are kurbed like nothing I've ever seen, there are dents in every panel. I think I know why - once she nearly hit me driving out of the close as she was texting instead of looking where she was going. She waved and looked sheepinsh but it really grinds my gears that people have so little respect for the road, other drivers or lovely new cars!

 

Anyway thats the start of my rant over. I had my rear bumper resprayed 2 months ago to get rid of some numpty tesco shopping cart damage, and on Tuesday morning noticed that someone left a huge scrape - 5 inches long around the corner of my bumper in a combination of red paint and black rubber. I think I know who is responsible - as she parks near me most of the time...

 

I haven't tried to remove it yet, and I'm hoping that It's only surface and will polish off, rather than gouged out of my bumper.

 

The question I have, is something like autoglym tar remover suitable for removing bumper rubber and paint, or should I just get stuck in with some polish - perhaps something fairly aggresive like Mer?

 

Thanks Gurus

you need to remove the bits of bumper or whatever first, then it should machine polish out with a good cutting polish. I find autglym tar remover to be pretty rubbish really... i much prefer this;
