Default scratches on bumper

I have some scratches on my bumper and i was wondering if anybody had some tips to reduce the appearance of them. They are not extremely bad but they are very noticeable. I have pics on the way my camera died.

get some rubbing compound at an automotive store and an electric buffer and buff it out.

only use the touch up piant if you can see through to bare metal. if you cant, then go the buffing route.

thank you for your ideas. i am going to go to auto zone tomorrow and see what i can get. i will try to buff it out.

One last question! How much does an electric buffer cost and can i get it at auto zone or do i have to go to a place like the hardware store?

not sure how much it costs...but i would try some elbow grease first...if they're not that deep, you may not need it...hard to tell from a 2d photo.

Do not put to much elbow pressure on the rubbing compound. It contains a fine grit and will eat through the paint pretty quick if not careful.
