Got a scuff on my bumper...

Hey everyone,
New to the site. My 08 CSX got its first blemish the other day. Not sure when/how it got there. It's not dented and feels smooth and continous with the paint. Someone told me to try Scratch X. I am not familiar with this product or general detailing for that matter. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Scratch X should work.

that looks like its more paint transfer than a scratch....use some polish, and scratch x qualifies as a polish....

Looks like paint transfer to me too. Try using a clay bar first. I've had good luck with getting paint transfers off bumpers and such with a clay bar and lube. If that doesn't work, then give Scratch-X a try.

Thanks everyone for your input! I removed the scuff with WD40. Once I sprayed it on and left it for a couple of minutes, it wiped off like it was melted chocolate. There were no remaining scratches/scuffs/dents.
