    Found this upon returning to my car the other day. Removing mark off my rear bumper.

    Came back to this on the back of my bumper the other day: Just wondering if anyone knows what the best way to try and remove it is? As far as I can tell its not actually scratched into the paint, but rather paint off whatever went into it sitting on top of my paint? Excuse the dirt :P
