I noticed a few gashes on the back bumper cover on my 05 H2…dragging something out of the back I guess. I’ve heard that small gashes and scratches are repairable with heat, but I’m not sure if that’s neither true nor how to do it.

Anybody have an experience in taking scratches and deeper cashes out of H2 bumper covers.

You mean the plastic piece? If it's that bad, just replace it... I doubt that piece is terribly expensive...

You can probably remove most of the scratch with some sand paper. It won't be perfect, but it will take most of it out.

The first scratch is the hardest.

The bumper cover. The big pice of black plastic covering the bumper. That's going to run into some money, right?
