Dropped Bottle On Bumper

Hey guys, I've been a lurker for some time now, but this is my first post, so excuse me if this is a simple question...still learning here. Well today while I was taking some stuff out of the trunk, I dropped the bottle of Mother's Reflection Liquid Car Wax that I had just purchased that day. The bottle dropped onto the top of the rear bumper where the trunk opens up from. My car is black, and now it has a scuff mark. When I look closely, it's whtie in color and about 3 inches long. The bottle isn't made of hard material, so I don't think that the mark is a scratch. How do I remove this? Thanks!

Any mild polish. Dab some on a MF and rub it away.

It's basically plastic scuff. You could go as far as claybarring it if you chose to.

how ironic is that, instead of protecting your car it marks it all up...such a shame

I had the same thing happen to me with a bottle of NXT on the rear quarter panel. Now I have a dent.

Yeah a simple scuff should come off with a gentle polish.
