How should I fix this scratch?

Ahhh the car is less than 3 weeks old but the other day while parking it went a little farther than it should have and the bottom of the front bumper has scratches from hitting the curb. How should I fix this? Does anyone recommend Quixx by the way? The instruction says it shouldn't be used on cars with 'scratch resistant' nano paints, ceramic paints, and matte paints. I dunno if this applies to a 2010 G37. Thanks

I wouldn't even worry about it. Your going to end up with scratches under the bumper, especially if you lower it. Who really looks under there enough to care bout some scratches?

I did something similar. I just left it. I don't even notice it unless I'm changing the oil.

Wash your car first and take more pics, because i can't make out the scratches unless i look close with it dirty, but maybe it would look worse with it clean, and depending how **** you are about your car. But if it ain't that bad when its clean, i guess just leave it.

+1. Really can't tell the depth of the scratches with the water spots and such. But on the bottom of the bumper, even clean, I doubt they are that noticeable?

Clean picture please so we can fully see the scratch.

And Ive seen a few similar types on lower front bumpers. A lot of times, 75% of the scuffing can be removed by hand with a very fine polish. And depending on the depth, you might need to add touch up paint.

On my last car, I did the same thing. Scratch X and touch up paint got 90% of it out and I never saw it unless I was changing my oil.
