Can bumping into hard wood scratch clear coat?

Hey guys, I did the clumsiest thing yesterday, I was pulling into my garage and accidently hit the driver side of the bumper to the wood side panel of my garage door(garage is kinda narrow). There are three scuff marks on my bumper now which is mainly looks like the wood's paint that scuffed onto my bumper. No indentations or anything, just three scuff marks. I took it all off with GOO GONE, seems like it was just the wood's paint that got smeared onto it.

Since paint and wood is soft, do you think my bumper is scratched? doesn't look like it, but just wondering.

Try owning a PB and GG Evo...rock chips for days

That's why I loved my WW. You can never wash it, bang it up and it always looks minty. In CA anyway.

Mistu paint is garbage, you will need to learn to love your battle scars.

In all seriousness though, without a picture we're all just guessing.
