Polish.
Do you own a PC? I would reccomend a heavy polish and a cutting pad.

It doesn`t even take that much -- just DACP (not exactly heavy polish) on a polishing pad with the PC will do the trick.
Remember, always start mild and work your way up :wavey

P21S Multi-Surface Finish Restorer Polish works quite well for removing such paint marks. In fact, I just used it last week to take some paint marks out of my girlfriend`s fender -- the panel is now bent, but it`s now perfectly silver. :P

Start by using what products you already have. As always start with the least agrrsive product wich would be SSR1 and a polishing pad if you don`t get it off with that then step up ot the SSR 2.5 with a poling pad. I`ve seen some amaing things done with SSR 2.5.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

Meguiar`s Scratch X with a terry applicator is a great way of removing paint transfers by hand.

I always remove paint-transfers with clay, did a lot of them when my father was still alive ;) I`ve hardly *ever* had to use an abrasive polish for this...

Yea, clay would be my first choice as well. It`s the least agressive (not at all) and then you can come in and polish away any scratches afterwards.
