ooh the close up doesn't look so good. I think you should be able to polish out the smudges everythign except for the scratch and chip looks like it'll come right off. try adjusting the bolts, looks like the alignment is a little off.

try using meguires scratch-X, that works pretty good at removing smudges like that.

Thumbs up Nice job!

Same thing happened to me today, same spot too. I forgot to pull my e-brake. I feel like a total jackass. One question though, how did you smooth it out? Or did you just pop it back out? How heavy is the bumper, and how complicated is the process? I heard that since these bumpers are made out of resin polymer the quicker you act the better chance it'll go back to normal. I also heard that over time it helps to even out the wrinkles in the bumper just from heat.

I did the same thing you did, except mine was in the lower right bumper.

It was a hot day and decided to pop the huge dent out, and it worked.

Here in socal, we call those things "Camry Dents" on account that 9 out of 10 Camrys have those dents. lol
