Three Wheelin'
Help—scuff on rear bumper (long story)—what’s the best way to try to fix it myself? I don’t want to rub the heck out of it and end up damaging the paint/clear coat.
FWIW, it has been ceramic coated.

Different companies label their products differently, but you can figure it out. Be careful if you buy a can of 'compound" from the local auto parts store because it might be too aggressive. Anyhow, the idea is to rub scuff with the medium stuff and then removed any scratches caused by the compound using the finer finishing stuff and then re-apply the ceramic coating in the area you've buffed out. You did do the ceramic coating yourself, didn't you? If not, take it back to the guy who did it and tell him you want a tiny touch up for free.
If all this makes sense to you, go for it. If you don't understand what I'm typing then take it to a professional. This is not rocket surgery. A shop is likely to assign this job to a mouth-breather because it's almost impossible to screw up. However, some people can screw up anything and if you think you are one of those folks, then don't try this at home.
Hint: YouTube is loaded with videos on this exact subject.

I want to get a BigBoi dryer next. Any suggestions on the Mini vs Mini+? Both for drying ability and noise.
My car has full PPF with ceramic coating and I use a Pressure Washer with MTM PF22 for washing. Something to quickly dry the majority of the water and the crevices and then I can quickly dry the rest with 1 microfiber drying towel.
