Default Removing marks from bumper

The bumper of myson's 2002 Civicscraped along a telephone pole as he was exiting a very tight driveway.His bumper is not dented but does have the brown tar from the pole on it and I presume so scratches underneath. The bumper is the same color as the car. Any suggestioins for removing the marks? Thank you.

If you get some polish and go at it, it'll take anything on the paint off and you'll be able to see what's underneath.

i'd wash the area very well, use a clay kit such as meguiars over the scratches, do a couple polishing coats with a buffer, thenput acouple coats of wax and try to buff out as much of the scratch that is left. washing the area very well will pick off w/e dirt that may be on the tar. the clay bar will take off w/e tar is on the paint, remember to use plenty of lubricant. polishing/waxing with alot of buffing will take care of the scratches, may not take them completely off but it will cover the scratches very well.
