Bumper scratches

These are scratches not gouges on my bumper where children have put in their hockey bags.
Has anyone used a product they can recommend to help diminish these marks?

Thank you

If you can feel the scratch with a fingernail rub, probably not much can be done. If you feel it, it's most likely scratched through the clearcoat.
You could try some cleaner wax or maybe mild rubbing compound. Always follow this up with a good quality coat of wax.

my bumper - white
the appearance of scratches: I use white permanent marker (for construction) or office correction fluid to correct errors in texts.
not very aesthetically pleasing, but not noticeable at a casual glance.
Can live up to full-scale painting and save a couple hundreds.
on a dusty car - can not be seen even with careful tracing

If the scratches are on the clearcoat use WD40 on them and they will go away but you will have to do this every time you wash your car. It's a fast and cheep way to get rid of scratches.
