I posted on another thread that I have 2 575s...on one of mine I just used a
"scrubbie" and lightly cleaned it as I read that these did not have a shiny
finish when they were new.
The one I just bought I will clean up...what should I do to the finish ?
Scrubbie again ?
I will change the bumper with a black one.

Wipe and leave that finish alone. It appears perfectly in the photo.
Don’t change the bumper. Grab a nice foam brush and some acrylic black paint. Both available at Hobby Lobby in a small tube. It is in great shape, and it is plain with the correct width to the original.

Thank you !

Good advice...I will color the bumper instead of replacing. On my other
machine the bumper was gone...I bought a rubber mat at home depot and cut a new one.
It's a little thick but looks OK.
