the base material or coating, can be almost fully restored. Before repairing a damaged area, explain this point
to the customer and get an understanding about the matter. Repair methods are outlined below, based on a
classification of the extent of damage.
1) Minor damage causing only a change in the lustre of the bumper due to a light touch
Almost restorable.
2) Deep damage caused by scratching fences, etc.
