SON OF A B*TCH!!!!!
hey try some SCRATCH X by meguiar's. u can get some at walmart for like 6 or 7 bucks. look for the black tube with the red X. i had a run in with a construciton barrell on the highway. some a hole came over on me and i sideswiped the barrel ( the orange and white ones) it put a lot of scratches along the pass side bumper, fender and mirror and a few on the pass door. scratch x got 85-90% of em out. so good luck
No sweat, the bubbles should come out, as long as they are tiny & don't look like water ballons.
I had a similar experience, I am a strong believer in helping out the little guy so to speak. I live in a town where local owners are a big deal. I wanted my xB pro detailed after the winter of last year to start the new show season off.
I could have paid the $129.00 or cheaper & had the dealer I am sponsored by do it, but instead I paid $120.00 & had the local guy do it. When he was done the car looked beautiful, I parked it & didn't touch it until the day of the show. When I got there I found scratches on the rear bumper & on my new rear strut bar. Tells me he drug a vacum or somthing into the back without thinking.
Being it was the day after I could not complain about it. I chalked it up as a learning experience.
It sucks dude I feel your pain !!!

yeah u put it on like a wax. like a thin caot then let it dry to a haze. the thing is u gotta put some elbow grease into it. use ur fingertips with the cloth over them to really rub out the scratches.. i used a old t shirt worked great ... like i said u gotta put some pressure on it . remove in circular motions like removing wax

damn it's not my ride but it sure makes me wanna kick some ___,you did the right thing play it cool,as far as the bubbles thats normal it should be gone in about 2-3 weeks if not just take it back,the light scratches can be remove with GS27 scratch remover it works great on all colors good luck...
my dealer buffed it out for free for me, but it happened to me like 2 weeks after i got my car, so my sales rep helped me out. it makes me cringe my teeth everytime i see my scratches, although they arnt as visible, its still the principal of the matter though.
