Your Bumper has been designed and
manufactured to provide years of use.
However, like any product, general
maintenance 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 bristle brush
(not a metal brush!).
For bumpers with a textured finish,
wash only with soapy water and avoid
other waxes and polishes.
