    Wondering how easily repairable this is, parked all the way at the back and somehow a grocery cart still landed on my front bumper.rcGG+2hpQX+GngQqHhMg+Q.jpg

    I hate it when you go the extra mile (walking) to protect the truck and crap like this happens. That doesn't look too bad, though. I would start with a clay bar to get it nice and clean and follow it with a mild polish. I like Meguiar's Ultra Finishing Polish M205. If the scuff is more transfer than scratches, you may not even need the polish. You can probably polish by hand but if it's deeper, you will be better off with a random orbital polisher but be careful not to linger on the same place for too long - you can burn the paint.

    Hope that helps and good luck!

    Scratch remover, polish, wax. That is very minor, could be way worse.

    Forgot to mention to follow with a wax or sealant..... The clay bar will remove any coatings you already have.
