Default what to do about clear coat abrasion

I.. Yes I (hate to admit it) backed into my dads van trying to get out of my driveway when we had other cars over and I had to do like an Austin Powers in the tunnels on the electric kart 100 point turn and ended up tapping the front bumper of the van. Anyways, there was no speed to dent, thank god, but there is about a 4 inch long "abrasion" right on framing around the license plate recess. I used a scratch "dimmer" product which took away the "white" look of the abrasion but there are still many tiny verticle cuts into the clear coat. Is there any safe method of dealing with this on my own. I have very little experience with body work and products except detailing.
