Default V90 rear bumper protectors? Best ones?

When I traded in my previous V90 I was surprised how scratched the top face of the rear bumper was. I wanted to avoid this on my new V90 and ordered a rear bumper protector from EBay via a German seller. It didn’t arrive BUT the seller refunded me. I’m struggling to find one in the UK, ideally just plain (no logos/writing) and Matt/satin black.

Just wondering what type others use and where you sourced them from.

Had Volvo rear bumper protector on last XC90 and liked it so much I have put one on current car too.

Try Googling RGM rearguard
It has more coverage and options on finish

Best way is to good wax polish the bumper regularly, I hate those stick on ones and the clear plastic one although retaining the original look yellow and go brittle making them impossible to remove without gouging the paint underneath, no doubt there is a way but it will probably require "special measures" and a weeks worth of sweat.

I have both genuine Volvo and aftermarket cover. The coverage of the aftermaket one is better because it protects the edge of the bumper.
In my opinion the genuine is nicer so i like that better.

You can choose which one is better r your application / design.
