Rant!
Some lady in her Volvo drove over a 2X3 approx sized piece of flat metal. It flew up from under her wheels on the 5 South just before Crown Valley. Hit the front of my 03 E 500 !!
After cooling off (me, not the car), it's not too-too bad. It looks like a lot of dead bug smears. But when the car is washed next, it'll stand out like crazy.
Fairly light scratches, almost entirely in the plastic of the front bumper/air kit.
Any suggestions? I Z-6'd it and rubbed really hard with a soft cotton towel and got some of it out.

Some some
Al,
Some I can feel with my fingernail, others I cannot.
Clay bar is a Great Idea! Is it ok on the plastic in which these bumpers are covered?
Thanks!
PS-NOW I'm really really sorry for all those French jokes a few months ago, you're treating me so well
