DIY bodywork
Hey everyone!
I am wondering if anyone would happen to know what material the front bumper cover is made of? I have some deep scratches I want to clean up and repair. I see quite a few resources say to find out what it is made of and get the appropriate glaze putty that will bond the best. Also, who makes the most accurate match to 040 black?
And if anyone knows the best color match for the silver/gray rim color match
Thank you!

Pretty sure the bumper covers (front & rear) are automotive plastic. I would try some rubbing compound or scratch remover product like 3M or Meguiar's.
Perhaps post a visual aid so we can see how bad it is.
