Your Bumper has been designed and
manufactured to provide years of use.
However, like any product, general main-
tenance is required to keep it looking
new.
Since the bumper is located on the front
of the vehicle, it is subject to potential
rock chips and other debris potentially
causing portions of the paint to chip off.
We recommend using a textured or gloss
black spray paint sprayed on a piece of
cardboard and Q-Tip to gently fill in these
chips. This will prevent any rust from
forming.
On all bumpers there is a chance of some
surface rust showing over time due to
metal particles being embedded in the
paint. This surface rust is easily removed
by a non-abrasive cleaner/polish and a
soft brush (not a metal brush!).
For bumpers with a textured finish, wash
only with soapy water and avoid other
waxes and polishes. For bumpers with a
smooth finish, we recommend using a
non-abrasive car wax on the part on a
regular basis. This will protect the finish
and keep your bumper looking like new.
For gloss black and stainless finishes,
micro scratches can occur from daily use
of the bumper. To remove these scratches
we recommend a mild aluminum polish.
However, before using any polish, try a
test area on the back side of the bumper
before using it on the front, exposed sur-
face to test abrasive level of the polish. If
it causes more scratches, STOP and use a
milder polish.
