I second the clay bar with a quick detailer spray as a lubricant. If you 
don't have that handy, I'd try a polish.  The clay bar is fantastic for 
unfortunate things like spray paint and rust from metal shavings sitting 
on the paint.

I had my painted side view mirror clipped by a tow truck's black plastic 
mirror and use some TR-3 polish ( 
http://bluemagicusa.com/index.php/blue_magic/products/91/tr_3_resin_glaze_polish/
 
) and it wiped off easily.  I thought it was scratched through the 
paint.  This stuff is wonderful too.
