Hey all,
I just got to work and wasn't paying attention and backed up my GS into my co-worker's car. His car is fine. However, my rear bumper has these hairline cracks now. I don't want to paint because I've had the rear bumper repainted last year. Is there any product or compound that I can apply that would fill into the cracks to prevent it from further cracking or paint start chipping off?

How bad is it? You can try to sandpaper it with 2000 grit, then rub and wax it. It can at least hide a bit of it.

Well the big main crack is reminiscent of a tree trunk with approximately 12 thinner branches sprouting from it.

I figured I may need to wetsand with fine 2000 grit sandpaper or so. Any compound you recommend in particular after the wetsanding?

Your bumper should not have cracked if they added a flex additive to the paint when they repainted your bumper.
I don't think you can do much to fix that since its down to the base coat.
You can have it resprayed and matched maybe.

Tuan is right on. No flex was added to your bumper. It will have to be repainted at some point to prevent peeling.
