So my "husband" touched the garage pillar with the bumper and I was thinking of touching up just the deep cuts (sanding + basecoat + clearcoat brush) and then use the polisher with rubbing compound for the whole bumper side. Is my assumption correct that some of the bottom scratches do not need to be painted but will be buffed out by the polisher?

Would this be a decent fix? Alternative would be sanding it down, filler, then spray paint but that seems more work than I would like to do and I don't need it to be perfect.

(Note the photo I took after cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol. It looked so much worse before.)
