Is clear coat on bumper cover thick enough to wet sand?

texcan

I recently had an oil change done at a new Nissan dealership in north west Houston.

The careless f*&^#n techs scratched the paint on the bumper cover on my 40th anniversary . It's on the front right side, just below the line where the hood meets the bumper cover. The clear bra on the front of the hood saved that from getting damaged too.

Only part of the scratches actually cut through the clear coat and paint. The rest of the scratches are more like indentations rather than scratches, because they don't have sharp edges and your finger nail can feel them, but doesn't get caught in them. I've augmented the second photo with what i mean - I hope it shows up ok in the photos.

Although the dealership manager offered to repaint the bumper cover, I want to try and fix this, as best i can, without repainting. I know it's not going to be perfect, but I think it could get worse if paint match issues arise after the repaint - which i've read is very likely with this 40th anniversary color...

I want to try wet sanding and then polishing the parts of the scratches - the parts that are more like indentations - and then just touch up the other parts of the scratches with touchup paint and then put a clear bra over the whole front bumper cover. My car has very low mileage - because I don't get a chance to drive it often - work too much - so there are no stone chips on the front bumper cover yet...

Is the clear coat on the bumper cover thick enough to wet sand these scratches/indentations out? I intend to start with 3M Trizact 3000 grit sandpaper... any other suggestions?
