Minor Scratches bumper lip

Got some minor scratch on bumper lip, someone must have ding me in a parking lot.... Do you think a detailing shop can clean this up with a little bit of touch up, or requires going elsewhere?

That's a real shame. Obviously a detail shop won't be able to make it look perfect but I think with someone who knows how to properly apply touch up and can maybe do some polishing only you would know its there..

Won't help you now but they make a trailer hitch bumper guard attachment that you can use when you parallel park. It sticks out and has either metal or rubber guard on it so when someone is parking you either give them a soft guard to hit or if you really want to stick it to them use a metal one that will most likely dent their bumper.

That can be "grinded" down to the point that it is invisible. A great paint correction guy can erase that, look into local providers before you try anything else would be my advice.
