Front bumper polishing
The front bumper takes everything: highway sand, stones, insects, parking scratches. Polishing brings back the depth so it no longer looks grey next to the hood. We work with a paint thickness gauge: the clear coat on a bumper is thinner than on metal and must not be cut blind.

About this service
The front bumper is the first to meet everything the road throws at the car: sand, small stones, insects and road dust, plus the odd parking scrape. Over time it starts to look dull and greyish next to the bonnet.
On a bumper the clear coat is thinner than on the metal panels, so it is never polished blind. The master washes and degreases the panel, measures the clear coat thickness and masks the adjacent edges and the grille. Then comes a cutting pass over the defects, a polishing pass to bring up the gloss and a finishing anti-hologram pass. The panel is degreased once more and protected with wax or a sealant.
Polishing removes insect marks and road grime, reduces fine scratches and scuffs and brings back the depth of colour. A chip that goes down to the primer cannot be polished out — that is paintwork, and we will tell you so honestly before we start. Expect it to take 1–1.5 hours.
If the headlights look tired next to the refreshed bumper, add Headlight polishing + PPF to the same visit. We do it at your place — in the driveway, outside the office or in the car park — with our own quiet equipment.
