The scratch in this picture:
https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/pi...ictureid=72080 will definitely not go out with polishing. It's clear that the cut went all the way through the color to the bumper's plastic base layer.
To minimize the visual impact this can be painted with a careful touch-up paint job (Dr. color chip, or OEM touch up kit).
Before proceeding to the actual paint job, damaged area first needs to be polished, cleaned and degreased in order to mechanically remove the residues of the damaged paint and plastic bits that are sticking above the surface of the paint.
