getting black off my truck

I was loading up decoys today and one of them hit the side of my truck, it left a few black streaks on the fender but it didn't cut thru the clear coat its just like on the top part of it. I have been thinkin about what to use any suggestions out there? maybe some mineral spirits or something with a little grit in it like bar keepers friend or something? i am not trying to damage the clear coat tho so thats what i am asking

Start with clay bar if that doesn't get it work your up the abrasive scale. Something like scratch-x or a polishing compound. A rubbing compound would be about the last step, but you probably won't have to go that far.

If it's comming off with regular wax, try a good cleaner wax.

I watched a YouTube video where a body and detail shop were showing how to
remove paint scraps on vehicles with brake cleaner. Sprayed it on a rag and rubbed it off.
