Scratches to bumper

Have got some small scratches on my bumper. Can these be fixed with a specific product or will I need to get a specialist in? They are only Slight scratches, not deep, on the plastic, but are annoying me and I want to get them fixed.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
DG

mer scratch remover works a treat, as long as you cannot feel the scratches when you rub your nail across it.

I was assuming that as its a prestige the bumpers aren't painted so you were talking about a scratch in the bare plastic. If that is the case then a trim restorer like Gtechniq C4 will cover light marks but if they're deep then you'll probably need a repair.

You are correct WB not painted. They are not deep scratches but quite long. Will get it sorted hopefully when I'm back.

The bumpers on a Prestige are not painted? Gosh...

Edit - just to clarify, by bumpers, do you mean the whole front of the car or the U-shaped "bull bars"?

I was assuming he meant the rear bumper which isn't painted on a Prestige or Pure.
