Don't want scratch to rust, help....
 
Okies.. so I after cleaning my car, I find a scatch about 10cm at the bottom of my rear bumper. Pretty deep cut (1mm) and about 10cm long. I was wondering what I should do to fix it.
1) Should I take it in to get it detailed?
2) Or should I just buy the touch up paint?
2a) If I buy the touch up paint should I go with the spray, or pen?
2b) Do I have to sand it down then reapply everything?
3) Will doing the touch up paint pervent rust?
Thanks for all your help

If it's in your rear bumper I don't think it will ever rust since it's plastic.

In anycase, what's the best way to go about fixing it?

well you could just put touch up paint there, then some clear coat for the cheap way. personally id take it to a body shop or dent shop and have them fix it for a few bucks.

Yeah, that would most likely be the best way, to bring it to a body shop and they may have to repaint the whole bumper but it would look better than touch up paint. If you ask the shop they may be doing a car of the same color in the near future and could possibly paint it at the same time.
