Haven't even had my car a week and bumped bumpers. Slight scuffs on front bumper and I want to touch it up. Does anyone know or have a link to touch-up paint that will match my front bumper.
Thank you in advance.
I would first use Mr. Clean magic erasers to remove the scuff. Just like the name implies they are magic! Seriously they work wonders on scuffs like these. Used them a few times on my old car. Then I would wax/buff it afterwards if needed

Ehhhhh, you shouldn't use little sanding blocks on it when all you need is a polishing compound.
A buffer would be the better choice to fix scuffs like that.
First I started off with a perfectly polished hood (a test hood that I have off of a BMW in Sapphire Black Metallic). I put a piece of tape down the middle to separate the two sides so you could easily tell the two apart once I was finished.
Then I sprayed a little water and rubbed the Magic Eraser on the paint as if I were trying to remove bug remnants.
And once I removed the tape and dried it off, you can clearly see just how much damage was done to the finish (left side) compared to the perfectly polished area on the right. This level of damaged was created in a mere 10 seconds!
If you were to do this to your car, it would require extensive (and potentially expensive) polishing to fix the damage.
So while the Magic Eraser works wonders around the house, you should not, under any circumstances, use them on any painted, shiny, or delicate surfaces of your car!
Doesn't look to bad. A bottle of scratch X should take it off. Heck rock chips are worse and trust with a white car I got a few.
This stuff and a micro fiber should do the job.
At my work we use 3M adhesive remover. Takes off paint and scuffs like nothing. If the clear gets dull, a quick polish will correct that.
The rule is, if you run your finger nail across it and it gets caught on the scratch, it's too deep to polish out. If it doesn't get caught, it'll come out.
I rubbed out some light scratches last Friday on a guy who stopped by our shop (2017 Ravi 4 with 2000 miles) looked like nothing ever happen. Guy was shocked and it took me a couple minutes. Majority of paint transfer can be removed.
