Need advice please - paint transfer from a-hole driver -Picts

Some some jack *** in a lite color SUV did a lazy u-turn and clipped my rear left bumper corner and tail light.(glance over the top of my bumper so I think it's a SUV) Nothing seems to be out of place or broken.

No paint cracks on the bumper or broken tail light, what can I use to polish off the white paint transfer?

Any advice would be great,

Thx in advance,

I would say use clay on the tail lights or polish.

you should be able to remove most of the paint transfer on the bumper with clay and /or polish as well.

let me know.
