I've got some light scratches on the front bumper of my car, which were caused by brushing against one of those flexible fiberglass poles used to mark our driveway edges during the winter. They seem pretty light & look worse in the photos, as they disappear when the car is wet but reappear when dry.

Looking for some advice the best way to go about removing these. Someone I spoke with suggested a light-duty liquid rubbing compound on a dry MF towel. I don't own a buffer so I'd need to apply whatever by hand.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

 

Scratch-X will probably take that out. You can get if at a local auto store or walmart as well.

 

Your success will depend on how deep the abrasions are. Any good light to medium cut compound should work and you can probably beg for some at the local body shop.

Scratch-X should work okay on light scratches as well.

 

true but those compounds won't do any good without a machine.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions. You were right about the ScratchX. I also posted the question at detailuniversity.com here and George suggested it as well. Several reapplications & the scratches were virtually gone, barely noticable.

 

I would try quixx to get the rest off. I was able to get a lot of deep scratches off my car with it.

If u search u tube u can see it work for your self.
