Stan,

Any scratching you can catch your finger nail on are likely permanent fixtures on your bumper. Go get yourself some Meguair's Scratch-X to reduce the other scratches though. Apply it 3-4 times and the lighter scratches will disappear. The deeper scratches you can try some touch up paint on.

can you get pics of the scratches?
is the gouge still yellow, or can you see beyond paint?
