    I'm buying a used 9300 and was wondering if you guys can recommend anything to remove scuffs/blemishes on the white bumper?

    Haven't tried this myself before but I know some stubborn scuff marks can be removed by some paint thinner/remover. Be careful though, it might remove the white on the bumper as well. Alternatively, you could place a sticker of some sort over it? I know someone who used spare iPod shuffle paste on stickers to decorate her 6400

    Hmm, maybe I can paint over the scuffs? Or fill them in?

    Anyone have any idea what a matching paint would be? Would Novus work if the paint is blemished on the plastic?

    Automotive plastic polish may do it, but if there is actual material missing, you'd do better to just replace the plastic.

    It's not actual material missing, just paint.
