Kung nag-clear up na wax (carnuba preferably) and buff to shine. Use cotton terry (or towels) na malinis...use it damp and use one on each type of material (1 for rubbing compound, 1 or step 2, etc) para hindi macontaminate.

    After step 2 at hindi pa nakuha, you can go back to the rubbing compound....or continue with step 2 until maging very minimal na ang marka.

    Kung malalim....I believe you'll have to have it filled and repainted.

    sa procedure ba na ito magpapantay ba ang kulay ng may scratch sa walang scratch. kasi ako gumamit ng 3m finish restorer tapos wax ko lang. pag sa harap ko tiningnan di halata scratch pero pag sa sides halata pa rin.

    any painter that can't match metallic paints perfectly needs to learn how or get a new job. from personal experience, it is much harder to match a plain white than most metallics.

    here are my suggested options:

    touch up paint - may work OK if the scratches are small and are down low on the bumper. some people say to let it dry and buff it out to even it - i never tried this and have no idea how it comes out

    do it yourself with a spray can - IMO this is the worst option. even if you lay it down perfectly (and this is tough to do without experience) spray can paint cannot be color-matched, has a tendency to fisheye (bubble), and you will have problems down the road if you do not sand and prep properly.

    pay a pro to spot blend it - they sand it down, prep the surface, and paint the affected area, using the clearcoat to blend the repair into the existing paint. in my previous career, i have done this more than a hundred times and it comes out PERFECT.

    pay a pro to repaint the whole bumper - they really won't repaint the whole thing...just repaint the damaged area, and clearcoat the whole bumper. i don't like this option as much because you have a fully repainted whole bumper, and a repaint, no matter how well done, never looks as good as OEM paint

    ako ang ginagamit ko e yung mga ginagamit ng pintor ng kotse sa shop na rubbing compound, pero i use it with caution, saka mga minor scraches lang. yung mga gasgas na malalim talaga, naku ewan ko ba. lalo kapag lumitaw yung primer.

    I have not used the touch-up paint that goes along with the car which is suppose to be of the same color as the orig paint, pero isn't this suppose to give you the same color? Yun nga lang, paano kaya i-apply ng even?
