Oh, man, I didn't even realize that was the lower bumper trim down by the hitch cover. From the pic, I thought it was something painted MSM. Yeah, not a lot you can do about scratches there, unfortunately.That's bare plastic I am afraid. Since there is not another layer of paint/clearcoat, it can't really be buffed out. And if you use too much force, it will just make it look worse. You could ponder getting it painted in body-color. But then again, that might be cost-prohibitive too depending on how much the replacement part costs.
Damn, that's a lot of coin. I've had some luck with plastic trim restorer (Back-to-Black) in the past to lessen the visible damage. There are quite a few versions but I think they all yield about the same result. You can get'em at Amazon for like $10. Not too expensive to try to see if it helps. Plus, you can use in on other bare plastic panels on the Y.They said it’s $520 for a new one installed
Would you have to apply it to the entire panel so the one spot doesn't look extra dark & blotchy, or does it do a pretty good job of blending with surrounding areas?Damn, that's a lot of coin.

I would apply it to the entire panel. Make sure you aren't too liberal with the application sponge. Unless you like the oily/shiny look.Would you have to apply it to the entire panel so the one spot doesn't look extra dark & blotchy, or does it do a pretty good job of blending with surrounding areas?

fully agree with this post.Respectfully.. I don't agree. You may be correct. I would definitely try the Meguire's Ultimate Polish first. Cheap and easy to find out for sure. I feel really good with this suggestion. I suspect 90% of what we see in photo is detrius on bumper and not damage to bumper. I suspect buffing with foam pad and Meguire's Ultimate Polish will improve drastically.. if not make it nearly unnoticeable.
... or just ignore and spend >$500 and replace.
