Some idiot backed into the rear side bumper at work today. Plenty of their tail light on the ground below my bumper. And of course, they didn't leave a note.
The only damage to the H3 is a small scratch on the black metal bumper near the license plate (which I've just about rubbed out and covered with a black Sharpie). However, the black plastic piece with the little groves has a bit of a mark on it. I tried to rub it out, but it still looks kind of white.
Any suggestions on how to get it out? Maybe slightly heat it with a hair dryer? I know that the Avalance owners used to get scratches out of their cladding that way.
Thanks,
Trinity

Save the pieces as evidence(find the turd that did it)and chalk up the scratch as a character mark.

H3 Hummer... you are no poser. I can't help but feel a little disgusted when I see vehicles obviously geard for off road... without a scratch or a ding on them. Since mine is black I'm thinking of just going ahead and getting that spray lineX stuff on the fenders and lower parts of the door. Just orderd a CO2 tank... when we going out again?

here's a tip I learned when I used to work at an airport. if its plastic, you can take out a lotta scratches and imprefections with metal/aluminum polish (mother's works awesome)
I once had a vehicle broken into, and the bastards scratched up the dash. took a lil elbow grease and mother's alum. polish, but I got it to where you couldn't even tell anymore! give that a try!  |

Thanks fpr the tip, Gchurchill.
I took my wife's hairdryer, cranked it up, and gently heated the area. I then quickly took a dark cloth and rubbed the scuff mark. Presto. No more scratch.
