Removing scratches from plastic cladding V70-XC70 2001

While turning our '01 XC into a driveway, the dark brown plastic cladding of the front bumper scraped against some bare twigs on a bush, leaving visible (grayish white) scrape marks. I washed the car, but the marks are still visible. Any suggestions as to how to remove them? Thanks.

If yo can feel the scraches with the tip of your nail, there is nothing you can do. Scratches on plastic surfaces cannot be "polished" off like on a metal surface. You either have to live with them or replace the front bumper.
