Any help for front bumpers?

[Mr blue]

Hello all,
I was wondering if there was any help for front bumpers/ spoilers where bugs seem to be imbedded in to the paint. At first I thought they were just rock chips but closer examination showed that they are indeed bug parts. I've tried turtle wax bug remover and even the yellow bug remover sponge. Problem is that the bumper looks clean while it's wet but after it is dry I can see the bugs. I do a lot of interstate driving on the weekends to go home and my car is a dark colored 2014 BMW 535i Msport. The paint looks flawless until you take a closer look at the front. Some of the spots are rock chips but more rock dimples as the bumper is plastic or rubber. What products could possibly help fix these issues?
Thanks

Pictures would help..

Interstate driving will always cause pitting, rock-chips etc. As far as bug spatter, you could use Tarminator and a McKee's bug/tar scrubber.
Then machine polish the bumper cover with a cleaner wax like McKee's 360 or HD Speed.

Not much you can do about the soft pitting except have a body shop skim and paint. Next time you may want to look into SunTek PPF. I just had an entire frontal on my silver Mustang. Full hood, full fenders, full bumper-cover to include lights and side mirrors.


The higher end PPF's are self-healing (to a point) and some even come with a ceramic coating already on them such as SunTk Ultra.

The films have got very thin (not bulky like the past) have UV protection so they don't yellow (like the past) and are really easy to maintain.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll give this a try. Oh and yes I kick my self everyday because I didn't get this protection when I bought the car. I kept putting it off until I ultimately forgot about it. It will definitely go on my next car.

You could have the bumper cover pulled, blocked and resprayed, then apply PPF in about 30 days... Just don't ever plan on taking it off! There is a risk on freshly painted body parts (esp bumper covers) that if it's ever removed it will take the paint with it.

But that's the thing with a daily driver... If you feel up to the task, you can always do a DYI project as I did below... but it's a BMW and honestly I'd rather go with the other options than my DYI project:

Not bad! I might look into the other option though and maybe store the car a few months while on my next 5 month business trip then have it protected.
