Feel like idiot. Let a girl pass and she stopped so i moved little more and grazed a car but damage is not big

Just not sure how to fix this. Cant see it from distance unless closing in but makes me go crazy. I really wanna touch this up but what do i do is it fixable? The gray part is just plastic and ill just get new part for that or wrap it. But the white portion you can see. Really lightly nicked car in front of me .

I can't tell if there are any cracks in the paint but assuming not... Looks like the vertical portion will polish out and the horizontal piece looks like an easy touch-up.

If the paint did crack, then repairing and repainting the bumper is the only fix.

Visually inspect it.

I mean whatever it takes to remove the cracked paint and then prepare the area for refinishing.

The horizontal splitter or whatever you want call it below the light. Touch up as described in the attached link.

ScratchX is not a filler... Used appropriately it will remove defects.

I'd be doing all of the polishing by hand. You're working on edges and any machine, including a DA, can be risky in those areas.

I see the gray part. That can be taken out and wrapped which i was gonna do or replace which is removable

If i use hand with scratch x and see it remove the black marks it mean its restored? If black marks show it means time for wet sand and retouch
