    Can you feel them with your finger nail? If so, they are too deep to polish out. Touch up paint and wet sand or use Dr color chip.

    Only issue is the bumpers are textured.

    Touch up paint to make it less visible is all you can do.

    Re: How to get rid of scratches on plastic bumpers.

    That looks like black plastic ,,try a matte or semi gloss paint,,spray into a rattle can top and brush in with a fine touch up brush,,I find SEM trim black works best for me.SEM also makes different grays for vinyl/plastic
    once it's dressed you'll hardly notice it

    prep the area with a q tip and rubbing alcohol or wax and grease remover
