do you have any polish on hand?? try what you have first, then head on over to an autozone and get some polish, not wax, not a sealant, but polish or some kind of paint cleaner....get a foam applicator and go to town on it...after your done, make sure you wax or seal up that area.....

it would be easier with a machine polisher, but you may beable to get decent results by hand....

If you don't have any polish some Acetone works great at removing paint transfer (aka. Nail polish remover.)

Unfortunately, paint transfer involve attrition. Which means your going to have some scratches. True, Acetone or Mineral Spirits will remove the paint or plastic itself, but your still going to have those lil scratches which are
