Scratched my bumper need help with removal

Well I was parking my car and I ended up scratching my front bumper pretty badly, I don't have a picture now, but white is showing and it seems a bit deep. Essentially what is the best way to hide the scratches short of painting the bumper. I could probably replace it for 200$ since it's on the third gen and its on the lower part of the bumper by the vents. But maybe there is a cheaper solution.

Basically I need to remove a scratch or multiple scratches, they are probably the equivelent of the car being keyed as far as what the scratch seems like.

Well I saw it today it seems its just the plastic is scratched but the color is there, so are you suggesting I still touch up with color fill?

Also what exactly is wet sanding? I'm guessing it needs to be done to smooth out the scratches.

Any suggested materials that I should use would be greatly appreciated!

Here is a picture it's raining now but and you can barely spot it out unless you're within a couple feet of it. It's on the lower part of the front bumper.
