Needs photo, as Davidv said.

 

As with the other posters,I really do not understand your door handle scratch problem...
need pics.
On the front bumper,as a ex-Florida guy,are you talking about love bugs?If so,and they
have been left to "dry" as you said,they have probably pitted your paint.They have a acid in their body that does this.If the "bugs" have been on there for along time and cannot be "softened"(put a wet towel over the entire bumper-leave over night),the only remedy is to have the bumper refinished and repainted.

 

Only scratch repair products I've ever used that are worth a damn are Langka and Quixx. Google them.

 

What I have done before:

1. If it's in the clearcoat, 2000 grit wet sand, rubbing compound buffed, polished, polished some more, wax and gone.

2. If it's down to the color, airbrush using color matched paint then clearcoat, after that go to 1.

 

thanks helped alot i heard about a guy who does spray touch ups on paint but would like to try it myself

 

+1 on the Langka - been using it for ~10 years. Only issue is that the scratch or chip has to be deep enough to hold the paint, so it can then be leveled to the original thickness.

 

so i got a couple small scratches. let me see if i got this right. if inside the scratch if the color is white, then its past the clear? and ide have to get it repainted? or you guys think i can just wetsand and buff and polish it out, pics in a lil bit
