Dent on front bumper

I noticed this card dent on the front of the car, it looks as though a shopping cart hit the car It's not extremely deep, is there any thing, as in a putty that can be used to smooth it out ? It's not the best picture I think I took it too close :)

Try this

You can use Nu-Finish car wax to knock out any coloration issues and then use a blow dryer to relax the plastic to get it back in shape. Be very very careful not to burn your bumper. There may be some videos on youtube as a guide.

Living in a city dings and dents are to be expected as a..holes will bump into your car on a regular basis,worrying about it wont make the dent go away or prevent future dents, i usually get p...ed offwhen it gets this bad..

man... glad I live in the country. I guess technically I have to worry about hitting deer but it has been a while since I hit my last one.

seriously when I see things like that all I can think about is a bomb set to go off with the car alarm big enough to take out the surrounding block.

Been a little while, here is a new image. Zoom out if you can't see it right, hopefully this will show everything :)
