Scratch Advice

After some advice regarding scratches... Appears some kind soul has parked too close and scratched the front bumper at the bottom. Most of the marks wiped away, but some have left a few scratches

Any advice? I've tried some simple polish as a starter

Hard to tell from the photo, but I think at least some of that would come out using something like Meguiar's Ultimate Compound.

If they're too deep (i.e. you can feel them with your fingernail) then you'd have to get it sprayed.

I would not spend too much money on trying to fix these scratches. Just do the best you can. Encounters with less than careful drivers parking their cars will occur again.

Looks like the scratches are only clear coat deep. Should polish out with a clear coat grade polish.

Couldn't agree more, 3rd time in 3 months this has happened... I was sat in the car 2nd time, so the 3rd party paid for a repair
