Default Front Bumper Repair
I have some typical wear on my front bumper from taking it off and installing it multiple times. Any tips on repairing this? Maybe a heat gun will help it form back into its original shape?

OP has already stretched the material and using heat will probably blister the paint. Not sure if there is an easy fix...

Paint less dent repair places can fix that using a heat gun and/or micro torch.
