removing paint scuff

I accidentally reversed into those tiny yellow poles that are near fire hydrants in the pitch black of night. I now have a nice sized line of yellow paint on my rear bumper near my license plate. What do you think the best way to remove this is? I was thinking paint thinner or sanding it? I don't even know???

Lacquer thinner - then immediately wash and wax.

I got rubbed by a lady in a blue F150. I think I tried thinner, and it didn't remove it. I'll try again.

As pointed out in your other thread - now try a clay bar.

Best thing I've found so far without going to the harsh chemicals myself is Meg's #105.

For OTC and/or by hand I've had some luck with ScratchX.
