Front bumper got scratched by metal bumper! Need help fixing

Ok, here is what happened.
I parked my car on the street while visiting a friend, and then when I am about to get into the car and leave, my friend said, when did you front bumper got scratches on them. I was like OMG and start looking for any suspects. My alarm didn't even go on. If it did, I would have ...
Those are vertical scratches, deep ones. From what my friend and I can tell, its from some metal bumper from some suv since its only on the upper part of bumper. Thank God (s)he didn't scratch my new grill. Anyone know how can I fix deep cuts? Thx

If the scratches are through the paint and you can feel thme with your nail, then you will have to touch them up with touch up paint or have them painted at a body shop.

Hey dude- I put a nasty scratch on my front bumper from hitting a stucko wall- Grrrr- and I got this Turtle Wax product that comes in a bottle to match the color of your car. It also comes with a lip-stick type thing that you rub over the scratch first to fill it in. It worked OK, but you could still tell it was scratched. I got the OEM body kit and that covered most of it.
