Rear bumper stress marks

[Potatman]

Hi I just wondering if anyone knows how to get white rear bumper stress marks in the black area of the rear bumper out. I had a mentally challenged woman with no depth perception make a left hand turn into a tire place and caught the edge of my bump now there's some white stress marks in it. It looks better if I use armorall on it but it doesn't take it out. I was just wondering if there was a fix for this.

I don't know if this applies to the plastic used on the Maverick, but I've been able to bring some flexible plastic parts back to "like new" condition by heating them briefly with a propane torch

There should be lots of tutorials how to do this on YouTube

Pictures showing the damaged area and exactly you're describing, would sure be helpful.

You might wanna check on YouTube maybe using a heat gun or some sort might alleviate those marks good luck

If heating is ever a solution, I recommend getting a heat gun from Harbor Freight. It has two settings and works great heating things like shrink insulation, etc. It's like a powerful industrial hair dryer. Works quickly, just heat, no flame.

I second the Harbor freight heat gun, especially for doing stuff around the home. I have had this one for 10-12 years.
