IM NEW TO THIS SITE AND I DECIDED TO ASK FOR SOME HELP. I OWN A 06 RED C230 AND I HAVE FEW SCRACHES ON MY HOOD AND FRONT BUMBER FROM IM THINKING ROCKS ON THE ROAD. IF ANYONE GOT SOME IDEAS HOW TO REMOVE THOSE OTHER THAN GETTING THE CAR REPAINTED PLEASE HELP ....
Welcome to the site. Unfortunately this is going to occur from normal driving conditions. You could purchase touch up paint from the dealership or apply either a clear bra, which is a film over your front hood and bumper or what I do is put on a leather hood bra for road trips and then take it off upon returning home.
welcome to the forum...
as Tri-Star stated there is no direct solution, eventually whether you use clear bra or leather bra you'll end up with if not dings then with scratches from dust being trapped under the bra's.
My front bumper is gotten to the point that clear coat is peeling and my bumper is dinged up fromt he rocks so bad that the body shop didnt advise me on painting it. SO next step is to get a new bumper.... i did get my hood repaired and painted...looking nice ont hat end , sooo...
Good luck

Where does everyone buy their bra for the C-Class???
My front is all nice a new thanks to me smashing into a Mustang, I'd like to preserve it...
I purchased my leather hood bra from Germany and had it shipped to the states. It was an extremely difficult transaction and a very rare part to find. I could look through my emails and see if I could find the vendor. I was on a german website and saw a picture and decided to purchase it. I think it cost me like $126 or so.
I know Pjay (tri-star) ordered his from somewhere off online.. And I gotta tell you his is pretty nice (I hate bras but I like his) but I know he paid a bit for it and it was ordered from out of the country... Mine is starting to get dingged up too... What you might wana do is just price out at a pait place getting it cleaned up. It might not be that bad... Dealership is going to rape you though heh...
Btw--- PJAY is that pic from the new place?? damn son I am loving the rooftop... I gotta get down by you soon man... Hit me up, I just got a new phone and I lost everyone's numbers along with the old phone...
