for your problem David, just use scratch remover and them wax with zymol and it will be good as new

You're talking about an actual crack through the bumper? I can be mended back together with products from Lord Fusor, but it would need to be repainted afterwards.

Well it didn't crack all the way through but the paint is cracked a bit and the bumper is a tad dented. any hope THanks

They also make filler materials. Unless you're experienced at automotive style painting, your best hope is to take it to a body shop, where they'll probably just replace it.

Some body shops would replace it but, we would plastic weld the bumper back together or fill it with spot putty and repaint the bumper. It saves the customer some cash. I just did this a couple weeks ago to a 944 Turbo. Looked flawless afterwards.

Rubbing compound will take out light to medium scratches.

To my knowledge, PDR can't do anything with plastic. If someone comes in with a dented bumper we'll usually take the heat gun to it and see if we can push it out. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

My bodyshop tells me that any repairs to cracks in the cowl may be subject to crazing (small fractures) in the future.
