Scratch on front XPel wrap. Best way to touch up or hide?

I had a scratch on my driver side corner bumper PPF and i took it to a suntek installer (thats the mfg of my PPF) they used some kind of rubbing compound and got it out. So my advise to you in your case is take it to an authorised XPEL installer show it to them and see what they can do. Honestly that looks like it can be taken off with a compound but let the detailer do it.

Update: Yeah warm water or polishing won’t work as the vinyl is slightly torn. So either I have to do something to cover it up, have someone cut that small part out (not sure if that would be more or less noticeable than how it sits now) or just deal with it. Touch up paint I think would stick out too much since the paint will protrude outwards since it’ll be on already slightly protruding vinyl.
The great thing about wrap is that it does its job of protecting.

short of replacing the whole piece, guess you have to live with it, just like me and a lot others

Funny, I actually went down a Martini Racing Stripe rabbit hole that led me to Redbubble not long before you posted that.

Good G-d man- wear that scratch proudly and motor on!! That's why you wrapped it.
