try using a cutting wax. I have used Kitten cutting wax (I think no.2) and it has done wonders for light to medium scratches. Since yours are deep, it might help with at least getting rid of the white ... unless the white is actually the fibreglass.
If you end up touching it up, make sure the colour match is spot on otherwise it will actually stand out more.
Strange that a pile of dirt and rocks can do so much damage though ....

Isn't the white stuff the undercoat? If it's a genuine bumper then it's plastic and coloured black. Seeing as it's virtually underneath the car I would try a very fine brush and some Mazda touchup paint and hand paint it. Though you might try a bit of cutting compound first. You might find it reduces the damageed area and the amount of touching up you'll need to do

As people have said - super fine brush, a nice bottle of matched paint, lie down on the ground and very carefully paint each scratch. As it's down so low (and a 5 is low too), no one will ever see it.
