Parked my Mav only to notice two scratches on my Mav! I have no idea how that even happened. Said every curse word in the book 🤬. Going to go to my dealership next week to see how much it'll be to repair it.

First war wounds. Living in a metro area is hazardous.

I'm not being snarky. I'm kind of jealous. I keep anxiously awaiting the first dents and scratches on my Maverick. Cause then I can chill and not worry about the hundreds that will follow.

I had scratches exactly like that on my old Escape. Mine came from not backing in the garage far enough and the sides of the door hinge dragging across my bumper.

I park in my driveway due to the garage being full. I haven't really seen the front of my Mav since two days ago so it must've happened between that time and today

ugh. I feel your pain. I was driving on the highway today and a semi kicked up a bunch of rocks in an underpass. And of course, they bounced off my truck! I have an appointment Monday for a new windshield, one of the rocks left an inch gouge in the passenger side, and some touchup paint to deal with he few rock chips in the bumper and fenders.

Go to an experienced Detailer. Much better idea. They will remove scratches and fill in with paint tohide the rest.

Oh man! That would've hurt me badly. I was so angry due to the truck being so new and the fact that I take care of my cars. Of course something like this happens to my truck lol exact feeling you had. I don't have an appointment yet but they're getting me a quote and an available appointment. Good luck with your mav!

I'll take a look into that! I wanted to check if the warranty covers it. If not, I'll check out a detailer

Hopefully the quote will come back reasonable for you. I think you have the worse bit of damage. The rock chips in the paint on my mav will be taken care of pretty easily with some touchup paint, and the windshield is being replaced tomorrow. Good luck on your repair. Make sure to post back on the outcome!

Dealership charged me 50 bucks to buff it out, but scratches are too deep so they don't think it'll do much since that area is plastic. I used rubbing compound at home and gave it a few days, no it's barely visable unless you're really looking for it. Decided to order a front license plate mount to cover it and dealership said they would install it for free. Wanted to do it anyways so this is the best excuse!

Another option would be you could just have a piece of black vinyl applied over the area following the body lines of the bumper and aligning with the grill edges.

I thought about it. I'm going to add black racing stripes with a white outline to my mav in the future. I know a guy who does them custom, but I just wanted to get all the needed stuff first before buying all my wants lol thank you for the idea! That's smart
