Hi guys,
I was pretty stupid and ended up bumping my SC300 a bit. The paint is smudged and the bumper has a little deformed bump.
I first tried using some touchup paint that I had success with on the body panels, but I'm not sure of how to get rid of the huge scuff. Any ideas? I really can't afford to be paying for a new bumper or a repaint right now.
I've attached some pics below.

Please note that the area where the paint looks shiny on the bottom edge is the touchup paint.
Thank you for the help.

From the look of the photos you can try to buff it out. You can use the following products. It should improve the scuff marks but will not fix the deep scratches or deformity.

After using the rubbing compound, make sure you use a fine polish to bring back the clarity, and remove the swirls and slight dulling the rubbing compound will cause, especially on black.
A swirl remover or something like 3M Machine Glaze will work.

Awesome, I didn't want to bring it a shop. Had too many incidents with my parents' cars where the shop would take em for a joyride.
Thanks for the info, guys.
