If they're through the paint, paint is the only option. If the paint is there, and you can feel it with your finger nail, it can be buffed out.

If your jeep is black, get a black magic marker and blend them in. If not some touch-up paint might blend them in.

I assume you have a sport and dont have paint on the bumper.. so the scratches are in the plastic? I know a replacement bumper skin is like $150. I'm having sun rot on all my 'sport' fenders/bumpers. When I can afford to replace it, I'm going to have them sprayed with bedliner.

I got my front and rear bumpers and whole hood painted for $400 at Aamco, it is not the best in the world, but it works.

I imagine you can take a file with fine teeth and carefully run the file over the scratches out till they blend in. Then wipe down the entire plastic fender with Armor-all.

If it's unpainted, maybe use a fine sand paper, then do the whole area with Mother's Back to black or Bondo restore black.
