Bumper protection is anything that can protect your car bumper from an incoming impact. One common type of car bumper protection is called a bumper guard. Car bumper guards are becoming an increasingly popular accessory for parked vehicles. The shortage of parking spaces means that vehicles are parked close together, which makes entering and exiting a parking space more challenging. As a result bumper to bumper contact is common during parking maneuvers and not surprising the number of reported damage to car bumpers is on the rise. Common complaints are screw marks and deep scratches to the painted bumper surface. To the rescue are various bumper protection products that specialize in minimizing bumper to bumper damage in parking related situations. Some bumper guards block incoming impacts, while others are better at absorbing impacts. Regardless of how you protect your bumper it’s better to use a bumper guard than nothing at all.
