What would take out a lot of light scratches?

Last week I got into a minor accident with my pewter z28, slid into the side of a mound of snow/curb. After looking up close, I saw the rear bumper, the side I hit the curb with, is scratched all over the place (at least that was the worst of my body damage). I tried cleaner wax, kind of quickly, but am not sure what else to do. Sorry if this is repeadily asked or an obvious answer, quess it's not really my area. Is there anything that can help (besides buffing I mean) at all, specific waxes or something? Thanks for any help!

Meguiar's ScratchX if you're doing this by hand.

Are you sure they are scratches or did the bumper flex too much and put small spider cracks in it?? I had that happen to the nose section of one of my Z's. If it is small scracthes or swirl marks I believe Zaino make something that would take them out.

Thanks for the recs, gonna look into them hopefully tomorrow.
BLDun, I'm pretty sure it's just scratches. I took a few pics and even though I haven't got a chance to look at it in daylight, I'm not seeing spider cracks. Not sure if this will post but:

Sorry if the pic is huge.

It's not horrible, but it's there. Hopefully ScratchX or Zaino can make it a little better, thanks again.

Yea, hard to see there but it does look like light scratches instead of the spider web cracks I experienced. Little elbow grease should be able to take care of it.
