Default sanding bumper (plastic) help

while sanding my bumper (any plastic piece in general) i sanded too much. in some spots and got this kind of "plastic fuzz." what it really is, is pieces of the fabric that can not sand off because they are still part of the bumper. any way to get rid of it?

i was thinking i could sand it off, but it seems to make it worse. sanding more doesn't seem like it's working. what can i do?

any one ever run into this or know how to fix it?

what grit are you using? if you're sanding before primering, you should be using ~320. if sanding before sealing, ~500. if before painting, ~600.
