Default Coke paint on my front fender

How do I remove the red paint from a Coke can? The other day I bought a Coke fridge pack and the friggin box broke when I took it out of the car. So one can of Coke dropped my S. Luckily, theres no dent. <knock on wood> I tried scratching with my nails but I don't wanna scrape any clear coat off. Any advise? I hope the red didn't dye my clear coat. Before this I did apply 3 coats of Liquid Glass. Now I wish it was Zainos.

I am usually able to remove transferred paint from clearcoat with a good clear coat cleaner.

I think you may need to try a slightly abrasive polish on the paint rather than the prefered none abrasive clay/wax options. It ought to lift off the coke paint before significantly abrading the clear coat.

I've used AutoGlym's Super Resin Polish in the past to remove minor scratches, it is only very slightly abrasive but just enough to get the job done. A coat of wax over the top and the S was good as new

I clayed it today and it came off but there's just a real small spot that I can't get off but I'm a happy camper now. Thanks
