Scuff marks on front Bumper
I accidently grazed a small section of my C5 front bumper backing out of my garage. It has left a small section of scuff marks on the right front side of the bumper. Does anyonehave any idea of what I can do to remove the marks?
Any advice would be appreciated.

If the scratches are light, then you might want to try Meguiars Scratch X first. I've used it to get light scuff marks out of the bumper on my Mustang. Scratch X also does great at removing swirl marks and light scratches from paint.
You're other option is to have a body shop buff it, or do it yourself. My black Corvette had white marks on the bumper where it had rubbed against something. The dealer buffed it while I watched and the marks disappeared!

I've used Scratch X on other cars and it did work pretty well however; I used it on my trunk area and it intensified the issue. I wound up having the marks polished out (and learned how to do so in the process). So it looks like I'll be purchasing a PC 7424 or UDM so I can do so myself. If the paint is missing DupliColor makes a nice touch up kit.
