I was driving down 95 to get home for Thanksgiving and some piece of debris flew up off the road and hit the front right side of my bumper and also my headlight. It scratches my car up pretty good. They're not deep scratches, just the scuffed type of scratches. Can I buff these out with something and if so, what should I use? I can provide a picture if it would help.

I was afraid that would be the case.

i wonder if a clear bra or wrap would have minimized the damage.. Time to get that bumper repainted.

Had the same thing here in Texas on my C class. Made a mess. Had to have bumper repainted. Two alloy wheels repaired as well as rocker panel repaired. One tire damaged. Cost 2500.00. Looks like new after the fix.

Something seems to be off with the bumper/fender and bumper/hood gap as well. Maybe it's just me though.

were you able to buff it off the headlight?

Deep scratches indeed, but most of them as shown are not cut through the base coat. I'd try some light-sanding by hand, then buffing with an orbital buffer using a professional grade rubbing compound. That should make it like 95% better. Same goes for the headlight. You can also consult with a competent detailer to see if that can be fixed without re-painting. Best of luck.

From picture looks to be scuffs / paint transfer and not actually scratched up. Try cleaning it up with meguiars scratch x or some rubbing compound.
my thoughts are it will cleanup like new.
