HELP! I have a question. Glossy black plastic bumper trims restoration?
I bought a 2024 ioniq 6 and the front bumper is in a pretty bad shape. Dont know what the previous owner did with the car but it looks like he was drifting it daily in gravel.
Can I restore these rock chips?
Thanks.

I just buffed my plastic trims with cutting compound and somehow it worked.
But I guess in this case it’s just painted black rather than actually being black so you probably can’t do that.

these are painted, it's a total hell to take the bumper apart on these, just polish em lightly by hand it'll be alot better than it is right now

Not really. Sand down and respray it black. Or just wrap it with colored ppf
