Would quixx be enough for my scratches?

Hello!
I rarely give my car for a Valet parking guy but this time he scratched it on the right side rear bumper, most probably he parked close to a wall!
So here's a pic of the scratches closed up (it doesn't look that big in real)


As you can see they are not very deep but some of them are large vertically!
Could the infamous Quixx product be enough to hide them or I will need a touch up paint too?

It's hard to get a 3D perspective in a photo, but some of those look deep. I'm thinking touch up paint, but the whole bumper might have to be redone to make it look good.

You really can't see if its primer, color coat, or just the clearcoat in that shot lol...

Can you tell us how it feels? If you can catch any of the marks with your nail, you're gonna have a tough time fixing it up with a touch up pen/wetsand method...

That looks more than just a simple scratch. Looks like it went through the clearcoat, paint, primer and all the way down to the metal/plastic. A scratch remover ain't going to do crap if that's the case.

i have the quixx system.. and its only good for mild clearcoat battle wounds- what you have there is a bill that you should pass on to the valet parking place.

It's about 1mm deep maximum, no I don't think it went through primer,it's not that deep but it's large vertically like you can see that's why it should need touch up paint + Quixx
Anyway for the minor scratches surrounding the big ones, shouldn't they go away with Quixx?

2 new photos, one close up in bright sunshine and another one zoom out to see how it appears globally (sorry for the dirt on my car)

Deep gashes like that will not be perfect with touchup and wetsanding. Its hard enough blending in key marks. Just fill them in for now
