Deep Scratch Removal using sand paper and a Rotary Buffer to Polish
This is a technique of removing deep scratches that needs a very light hand and a lot of car not to go through the clear coat into the base coat of the paint. I used 1500 grit sand paper (real lightly) and then polished out the sanding marks using an orange hex logic pad from chemical guys and my rotary buffer

In the video above we tackle the most common fix in the industry. You know when you see those ugly faded plastic bumpers right?
Well, there are 3 ways to fix this eye sore.
1st. you can try to scrub them with some car soap or degreaser and wash the oxidation off.
2nd. you can buy a solution they sell (like a basic rubbing compound) which works well, and just rub it out. Some ppl use peanut butter! I personally think that's a little wacky but whatever floats your boat. I'de rather use come compound. the same compound that you'd use to buff your car.
3rd. If the bumper really looks bad (Paint It!).
That's what we've decided to do in this 7 minute video above.
Keep in mind that this job was a QUCKIE. We didn't bother to fill in the minor scratches with glaze putty that were on the rear bumper cover. Good thing. Because I found out that the truck was backed into something a week later and got ruffed up even more.
The first step to painting plastic parts is to properly clean your plastic. I prefer lacquer thinner.
REMEMBER: there us a difference between 'paint thinner and 'lacquer thinner'. You want to use lacquer thinner. Next, pick some cans of SEM bumper coater. It's good stuff and they also have a formula now where you don't need to worry about adhesion promoter (stuff to put on the plastic so your paint sticks).
Mask. Take your time and do a good job. Prep is the most inportant part of painting. If you do a crapy job masking, the job will look like hell.
You can lightly wet sand your plastic with 600 grit if you wish but I wouldn't go any courser. The bumper paint is thin and you may have problems covering. As long as your parts are washed well with lacquer thinner you're safe to paint directly on your plastic bumper.
Spray 2-3 coats or until full coverage. ...and that's basically it.

Repairing Urethane Bumper Covers with an Airless Plastic Welder
Urethane bumper covers are often discarded because of cracks and tears. These bumper covers can easily be repaired using the airless plastic welder. Because thermoset urethane bumper covers do not melt, you will not be able to get a true fusion weld. The repair you get is similar to a brazing process.

The Epic Tale, of fixing a car, after some dunce taxi driver hits it.
Fortunately, the bumper, PHYSICALLY, is 100% undamaged! Cosmetically, it was a total mess.
Before I started this video, I got half the "Darlington Stripes" off if it, and in this segment, I remove the rest of them. Some scratches remain, and there's some chipped off paint. Tocuh-up painting is in the next part.
BEFORE SOMEONE SAYS IT:
No, I do NOT have the time, or money, to go though the hassles of insurace companies, getting it appraised, quoted, and replacing the bumper. The damage is fairly neglegable, and when it's done, it'll not be perfect, but will look like other parts of the car.
ALSO: Once all is done, the receipts for the materials will be sent to the cab company who was responsible. Fortunately, it's not going to be a major nightmare.
