What is the best product to get these scratches out?

So I got this nasty scratch on my front bumper and was wondering what is the best way to get it out or at least make it look better without taking it to a body shop. I'v heard Meguires Scratch X2 was decent. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Scratch X would be a good start for most of the lighter ones. However the deeper ones may not come out. Apply touch up paint to those using a tooth-pick and it should be a bit too much. Wait for it to dry and sand off the excess using 2000-3000 grit sandpaper. Clean up with Scratch -X

Easiest way of hiding them, get the a-spec lip for you car, it covers up the area!

Thanks for advice. I'm going to try out Scratch X and see what happens.

By hand I would use Meguiars ultimate compound then follow it up with scratch x or swirl x. They are to deep to get out, but it may make it less noticeable.
