Hi,

Some motorcyclist was trying to avoid my stopped car, couldn't stop in
time, so he swerved, hit my Kancil (2002 model) at the rear right corner
(grey section, bumper still untouched), and left his tyre marks. What's
the best way to get rid of the marks? Will simple detergent do the trick?

Thanks.

I think car polish or wax should be sufficient.

Or perhaps tar/bug remover if it's really tough and you don't want to use
petrol?

Use diesel. Best for dissolve rubber/tar.

But it also dissolve paint too.
So wipe a little bit on the rubber , not on the paint.

Guys, thanks for your responses. However, the marks are not on the
paintwork.. they are on the grey part of the bumper.. don't think that's
metal.. Don't know what material is that... what about using scouring
pads and Vim?

smallbug: with scouring pads and Vim (Vim somemore!!) all you will get is
a
teribly scratched bumper!!

kena that before, but bicycle lah, guess wat i use, a pencil eraser!!!
lightly scrub it and its like brand new!! i use the rubber type not those
rough type. just ask your little brother for any eraser with ultraman on
it
and that will do the job. hope it works with yours!! good luck!!

anyway if the grey bumper is those plastic type (usually it is) then don
use any polish/wax on it!! it will leave a darker stain/mark on it. and
that is like forever imprinted on it!! beware!!
