hit a freshly painted pillar

i was turning into a gas station and thought i could make it around this pillar but i was wrong. I hit the side of my bumper causing the bumper to be covered in paint. i hit the thing going 2 km/h.
Raced home and quickly got some paint thinner and got most of it off.

however there's little cracks on the paint. it doesn't look like the bumper is cracked itself, just the paint.


Sorry, no before pictures, I was in such a hurry to take it off.

should I just buffand polish it? would that work? If so what are some good polishers and waxes i could use.

If worse comes to worst I might just cough up the extra coin to get a new bumper, i can't stand having my baby hurt
