I was washing my car, and noticed on my cobra front bumper there was a single deep scratch down to the first coat of silver ( paint is silver metalic) I tried claybar but its way to deep what do i do now? I think during football, somebody scatched it:wall
Its very noticable :(
A clay bar won`t get scratches out no matter the size, for further reference.
The only thing you can do is touch it up or have a shop fix it.

Got pics? We can give you a better idea with it. You might be able to polish or wet sand it but being the bumper it`s kind of a pain.

Thats what i would do. Unless its a ferrari i wouldnt take it to a shop. They`re only gonna rape you on labor.

Do you have experience with touch-ups and wet sanding?
