Protect the bottom, front bumper?

[Fiat500]

Hey all,

I've noticed the bottom of my front bumper near the wheel wells has some surface scratches. I've tried buffing them out by hand, but it doesn't look like that's going to work.

First, which product should I use to help correct these? They are deep enough where I can barely feel them with my finger nail.

Finally, how can i prevent this from happening? Is it simply. Inevitable on an every day driver? I've been looking at the 3m paint defender spray. Does that stuff work?

Thanks!

Is it a clear coat scratch?

For protection:

If I were you I'd opt for the XPel Ultimate PPF...It has a 10 year warranty.
You can probably get the whole front clip wrapped for less than $250.00.

No more worries, then, about what you have going on now.
You can then: "Drive it like you stole it"!

According to their website, the bumper kit is 290

That's retail.

Anyway...
You're looking at the saving of the costs associated with a re-spray...
when considering PPF as an alternative.

I've got XPel...and I'm mighty glad I do!!

Is it hard to install, or does it need to be professionally done?

Some panels, of course, are harder than others.
XPel has all of the install tools on their website.

But if you're not planning on becoming an installer...
Get it professionally installed and get their install-warranty to go with it.

XPEL's website also has a directory of their Certified Installers.
