How can I fix the paint on my car’s bumper?

I drove into the city yesterday, which is something I never do, and while I was parked, someone hit my bumper. Now there’s paint on the bumper and I’m not sure what to do. Is there a way I can fix this paint on my car’s bumper?

Paint transfer is common in big cities, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying. Luckily, there are a few simple ways you can
fix the paint
on your car’s bumper. No matter what method you choose, you’ll need to thoroughly wash your car with soap and water.
Next, you can use any of the following to rub away the excess paint on your bumper:
  • Rubbing compound or scratch remover
  • WD-40
  • A magic eraser sponge
Once you’ve used these tools to remove the paint transfer on your bumper, it’s a good idea to polish your car for extra shine and protection.
And speaking of protection, make sure that you have the best
