How to remove scratch

[Marky]

My son managed to scratch the rear quarter of my car with his bike last night.

It made a 6 inch long mark on the plastic bumper. It wasn't too deep so I tried some t-cut. This has made it less obvious and smoothed it off. But the scratch is still there.

What do I need to do to remove this scratch?

Got a pic? If its not too deep then a good polish with 3m fast cut etc will remove it, but if its gone through the paint then only a respray will remove it for good.

No, havn't got any photos. I'll try and get one over the weekend.

Its not too deep.
What is 3M fast Cut? Can it be applied by hand?

Its just an abrasive polish. T-cut will do the job but its more work. have a look in halfords for products like meguires ultimate compound, also a cutting polish that will help to minimise the scratch with a bit of elbow grease.

If it's a deep scratch, you may be able to use touchup paint to fill it, then use fine glasspaper and T-cut to cut it back so it's level and blended, followed by some polish to protect it.

I have some ScratchX. Is this any good?

Or am I better getting some proper stuff?

Does you finger nail catch in it when you move across the scratch?

scratch x will only remove light swirls a deeper scratch CAN be removed but you will be there all day
