Rear bumper protection ?

My rear bumper seems to be getting battered on the top of the corners, either side of the large standard fit rear bumper protector - not sure why, don't remember doing this myself.

Has anyone found or made anything that covers/protects the top of the entire rear bumper ?

I've never seen anything and can't imagine how that damage is happening...

Not heard of or seen any similar damage but that doesn't mean others haven't.

I used Helicopter tape to cover the painted section at the top of the lower tailgate where the seal of the upper tailgate often rubs off the paint work, its a clear self adhesive tape used to protect the edges of helicopter rotors and alike - you can buy it online in difference lengths and widths then cut to suit.
 LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Do you use a hand car wash? I've seen the workers stand on the rear bumpers of 4X4's to reach the roof.

I have used a hand car wash but not very often.

Looks like shopping trolley marks or similar. I'll take a pic in the daylight tomorrow.

Was just wondering if there was anything decent I could cover the corners with rather than get them painted or chipsaway repaired.
