Re: Bumper Scuffed

145 is not a bad price. If I was to touch it up myself just now and leave it to get done properly at the end of the lease, this shouldn't be a problem?

i.e rusting or any other issues that may make it worse.

Re: Bumper Scuffed

A full bumper respray?? That sounds drastic. I wouldn't want to be messing about with rubbing down as may cause the damage to be even more visible. I might get it done from a detailer they should have some experience and before returning the car back to the lease company get it done professionally. ...

Re: Bumper Scuffed

Thanks trix I think I'll do that.

Any tips using the touch up paint i.e anything to use before or after it.

Do you think this would be regarded as fair and tear?

Re: Car Collection Query

Managed to make it to Glasgow in one piece. Absolute stunning car. Will be posting pics very soon. I have never washed a car myself. I would just like to carry out basic wash myself every so often and maybe wax a few times a year would this be sufficient? Also what equipment would I need? Thanks.
