Ok so I was using my clay bar (so smooth now!) on my car when I noticed this...

Went in for a closer look...

I'm SO upset because my car is a couple days over being a month old, and I have a small gash in my front bumper plastic!! Heard about Scion having cheap paint and other things, but didn't think it would happen to me. I haven't hit any curbs or anything, but I do remember going over something on the freeway going to school the other day, but didn't think anything of it. My '99 Corolla went over so much crap and never had anything like this happen!

Is there anything I can do to repair this?? Take it to the dealer see what they do/say?


Also, if I got a clear bra for my car, would the installer be able to buff out the small nicks in the paint? This is really bothering me that the car is this suseptible to road rocks. Had I know this before, I might still be driving my Corolla...

Update I'm going to be contacting a company that had repaired my previous car in an accident to see if they can do something for me. Then I'll be contacting a clear bra installer out in Walnut to see how much it would be to fully protect my car. Argh!
[ps - I ripped this from scionlife.com, too lazy to rewrite it and too sad]

ouch =( sorry to hear about that =( I just found out about a spot that does the 3M clear bra installs AND is a detail shop... so they'd probably be able to help you out with buffing the bumper as well. This is their website www.transhine.com . They are located in Whittier =) Talk to Bill .. Good luck on it!
