Someone hit my rear bumper and scuffed the fascia. Took it to a body shop for wet sand and buff, and they did a great job. Left only two small spots where the damage went deeper than the sanding and buffing would clean up, only about 1/16" by 3/4" in size. The body shop dude "puddled" a small amount of paint into each of the spots, and said it would flatten when it dried. It flattened a little, but still sticks up from the surrounding area.
Do you think a clay bar will take this down to the surrounding area? I even thought of using a razor blade to try to shave it down, but if it works, the clay bar would be less risky.
Any suggestions?

A clay bar will not remove dried paint. For your problem it won't work.
As far as paint goes, a clay bar may remove fine overspray, but that'* it. Sanding sounds to be the only remedy to get it flush.

Basically yes it is an abrasive. I have used it on my Pontiac Montana with limited sucess.
