some #@$@!!#@ apparently hit my nose with his bumper while parking. God dammit!! Its not bad but there are scratches I'd like to get out.

Question: Advice on what type of compounds I can use to try and rub out some of these scratches without damaging the paint?

I'm a champ at this on older cars...but I am nervous about this one....

Neosporin will help that heal right up!

Mothers makes an OK rubbing compound that works ok on light scratches. I heard 3M makes a good one too, but I've never tried it. Maguires (sp?) isn't bad either. But those really only work on light surface scratches, except for maybe the 3M, but I've never used it so I can't say.

how bad are we talking about?? does the scratch penetrate the clearcoat??

if you run your nail across them, its going to catch, so deep enough for that. Tell you the truth, i need to wash the car and take a closer look...

I'm hoping/thinking they are relatively light...if they are heavy I will live with it for awhile rather than butcher the paint.

Just get a new front bumper. It may be cheaper.
