Default ran into a crunchy snow bank

now there are scratches on the lower part of the front lip spoiler. What's the best way to get these out? Amazing that ice can scratch fiberglass or plastic. I imagine the spoiler does catch a fair amount of damage being the leading edge so low to the ground. is there a better way to protect this part of the car? Now why didnt they make this out of the dark urethane that mudflaps are usually made of.?

Not that amazing since a glacier aka ice is responsible for making long island haha.

Sorry to hear about the front lip though.

depending on which color the lip is, you might wanna think about painting it. If the lip is FRP with a black gel coat, try some flat black paint. that was the plan for me, until i broke mine. oh well time for polyurethane
