Hi guys,

I was not paying attention last night and backed into a yellow pole in my parking garage. :iono:My rear bumper is dented and has yellow paint stuck on it. Can anyone suggest the best way to clean the yellow pain of a 2010 Yaris bumper (see pictures attached) or any DIY way to repair the dent. Thanks

The paint will buff right out.

use a heat gun to heat the bumper back into shape ASAP.

then buff the paint right off and wax it after.

and youre good to go as if nothing happened!

Dismount the bumper to bang the dent out from inside. MI forums will have the shop manual for exterior.

Is the Yaris bumper made of a soft enough plastic that a heat gun can pop out the dent? anyone have a video of this they can share? thanks
