Asphalt Rash on a new car

Less than 2 weeks in, I scraped against some asphalt going into a steep driveway, and got a nasty scratch about 2" x 2" on the underside of the corner of the front bumper. Yes it's visible. Short of getting the bumper repainted, are there any DIY suggestions as to how I can do to minimize the damange?

Any pictures of the damage? Depending how bad it is, you could try compounding and polishing it to minimize how bad it may look.
