Removal of Scuffs On Left-Rear Taillight + Left-Rear Bumper

[arsy51]

Someone hit-and-ran our less-than-two-week old Gladiator. Just very minor cosmetic damage, but damage nonetheless.

Any recommendations for removing or covering this scuff from the plastic on the taillight? It's pretty shallow.

And the corner of the bumper sustained a some deeper scratches, but still not super deep; same question as above:

TIA.

Any recommendations? Same thing happened to my right rear taillight...anyone use anything that works?

Our dealership suggested Rust-Oleum Wipe New Trim Restore. I'm about to try it out today and will report back.

Might try hitting it with some 303 Protectant to help blend it in & brighten it back up.

So, these are the immediate results with the Rust-Oleum Wipe New Trim Restore. I'll take more photos again in a few hours when it's fully dried. Appears to have worked on the scuffs on the brake light and bumper's corner, but not the scratches themselves (wasn't expecting it to) on the bumper's corner.

Bumper's corner:

Looking good so far!

No change in the bottom (scratches still there, obviously), but the scuffs on the brake light are gone. The Rust-Oleum is completely dry now:

Sorry for spam, but here's a side-by-side comparison so you don't need to scroll through this page:
