Remove paint scuff from bumper?
Backed out of my garage this morning and grazed the front right corner of my bumper against the powder-coated aluminum flashing of my garage. Doh! How should I remove this paint scuff w/o making things worse with paint swirls, removing clear coat, etc.?

Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound only if it's just scuffed. If you have any reason to believe that it's deeper than just a scuff, you need to take it to a body shop. Otherwise, the Rubbing Compound will do magic.
I did the exact same thing with my Tahoe once, and the Rubbing Compound took care of it. Give it a try. It's about 4-5 bucks, and it comes with so much that you could use it for the rest of your life.

all good suggestions
try a wax first hand applied with a terry cloth towel (terry is more aggressive than foam) -
if that does not work move up to a rubbing compound and as the other posters have stated - be sure to wax afterwards.

I was thinking Clay
since it gets overspray off - but I think a paint deposit like that (overspray isn't really "forced on the paint like a scuff ) would require a little more aggresive approach -
but clay would be THE least aggresive

well I can only see that you might need to wet sand and buff out, but that is up to you.
