Pushed against the 'bulge' with one foot while I held the heat on, which pushed the plastic back out, restoring the fascia.
Minor scratches to the clear coat came right out with 3M Finesse, microfine polishing compound.
Then wax.

I removed a dent from Chorizo's bumper by removing it and applying hot water and my head or something.
Unfortunately, I wasn't smart enough to put down a towel, so I removed the dent, but scratched the bumper!
Then some idiot rolled his 1999 Accord into Chorizo, so I need to do this again.
I used my homemade hot glue puller on Mom's bumper when she backed into a wheelchair.
I probably should have pulled the bumper and used hot water and my head, but this way I removed, let me see, carry the one--zero fasteners!
It isn't perfect, though. I will end up using the hot head method.
