That was a separate issue that happened long ago. In fact, that is why I was using the rubbing compound, to remove scuff marks. These scratches were definitely a result of me rubbing.

Didn't I tell so?
It needs to be wet sanded, primed and painted. Period.

Were you using a buffer? Or just by hand?

+1, looks like the bumper flexed and cracked the paint.

looks like the cloth/pad you were using may have had some dirt in it.

I would warm that spot up with a heat gun , just to try , and pass over with a very fine sand paper using feather strokes,and water, be gentle. It worked for me on a black plastic bumper cover.

then I would clean, with it with clay, and use detailing spray for lubrication, then the polishing compound , then the wax. use brand new soft pads and microfiber buffing rags, keep it clean. do it all by hand.

Take it in and get repainted and be done with it, just don't use rubbing compound again.
