Rub marks
Anyone have any luck removing rub marks off their car? Some jackass rubbed up against my car leaving marks, luckily I felt it and it doesn't feel like scratches. Just not sure how to go about it if I was to do it myself.

I want to suggest magic eraser. But honestly I have never used it so I don't know how safe it is on paint.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of videos on different stuff to use, but magic eraser and other stuff like that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. Some stuff seems like it would be too abrasive. I want to get a buffer, so I will probably go that route.
Do you also use the buffer to condition your seats?

No, I just buff the exterior.
If the driver's seat starts losing its dye, after years of entering and exiting, I think that power buffing it would remove more dye sooner.
Post some photos of the rub marks.

OP,
Simple, just use any "Rubbing Compound" to remove the paint transfer.
First wash the car or just the scuffed area so there's no dirt. You will scratch the paint if the car or the area is not clean.
Put some rubbing compound on a damp rage and then just keep rubbing the paint transfer area. Use a firm to hard pressure on the scuff until the scuff is rubbed off. The key is to let the rubbing compound do the work so keep plenty of compound on the damp rage. Add compound when need and keep the rag moist.
Once the scuff is removed, wipe the rubbing compound off the area and then follow up with a "Polishing Compound". The polishing compound is to remove the rubbing compound's light scratches. You'll know you're done when all the scratches are gone and the paint is shiny again.
Finish off with wax.

01acls is right on the money. Rubbing compound is the answer and I can speak from personal experience.

Thanks! I used Meguires rubbing compound and it worked like a charm. Crappy part is now there are 2 minor dents that I couldn't see before, hardly noticeable, but I know they're there.

Sell the car!! 
No, but really, you can likely get paint less dent repair done on those two small dents. Shouldn't cost more than like $100 to get both done.

Like Taco said, you can try PDR if it the dents bother you that much.
