Default Removing light paint scuffs.

Looks like a school bus grazed my left rear fender. No dents or damage other than a few light yellow paint scuffs. Is there anyway to remove these with off the shelf products? Or am I looking at having a body shop do it?

Thanks

Default Would a clay bar work?

no pics right now, it just happened this morning, and the camera is at home. I was able to remove about half of it just wiping it off with a towel.

Would a clay bar work to remove what is left?

Try a white scuff pad from Norton. This is a non abrasive product that is made of tough nylon. Make sure its the WHITE one. The others have abrasive in them. If this doesn't work, then use abrasive clay.. be gentle
