Someone mustve hit my bumper and just kept on going. The scratches arent too deep and you can barely feel them with your fingernail. I realize I probably won't be able to get rid of them but is there anything I can do to reduce the appearence?

Are those scratches or paint from the other car?

Well I managed to polish out that really long white scratch with some klasse AIO. You can barely see it now

try a Langka-based laquer thinner , specifically Mother's scratch kit.



I've used it on several cars with scuff marks exactly like yours. Try it, you'll love the results.

I had a very similar scratch from a cement planter my wife didn't back into, and from a fence she didn't pull into, too. Both with paint transfer and scratches.



Here's what I did with pretty good success. I'm not certain it's the optimal way (maybe some of the pros will chime in) but it worked surprisingly well.



- Claybar to get the paint transfer off

- 3M trizact on a trizact pad, followed by CMA yellow pad

- 3M PI III MG on a yellow pad, followed by a white pad

- Wash and wax



It worked far better than I thought it would. Good enough that I'm the only one who can spot any residual damage and I have to look REALLY closely.
