Best way to fix front scrape
I must have gotten a little too close to the curb recently because because I just noticed a little scrape front and center on the car.
Anyways - what's the best way for me to fix this? I don't think its worth having it professionally done or anything so looking for best steps for me to fix it. As you can see, I Xpel'ed the entire front so I'll have to remove a tiny bit of it. Carefully razor blade a small chunk out of it? I already have the GM touch up paint. Should I just fill it a couple of times then clear coat it? I also have the Xpel Door Sill leftovers (thanks Glen for the tip) so I can use that to patch the hole after I'm done. I'll been considering ordering a Curb Alert for a few weeks now....I think I'll pick it up now.  Thanks for your help!

Buy a front plate holder, better damaging the plate holder then front of vehicle. If you get the plate it might hide your damage. BUT A NICE CAR LIKE THAT DOES NOT DESERVE TOUCH UP PAINT, get it fixed professionally.

There's no wax that's gonna fix that! You could try Dr. Colorchip so it won't be so noticeable.

Yeah, that's way too big to be touched up, even half decently. Bumper needs to be removed and repainted. And as JCunningham just said, since the plastic is pretty deeply gouged, it'll probably need a little body filler too.

Buy a splitter, it will cover that up and then purchase a curb alert or make it a point to park backwards.

Definitely will take the curb alert. Don't think I'm really interested in repainting the bumper because I already Xpel'ed it and it'd be a huge waste.
May try touch up paint then covering it with extra Xpel and if that doesn't look good, may go the splitter route.
