    Picture doesn't make it easy to tell. get a better picture. If its paint transfer it will buff out.

    I agree with others. If the paint is gouged down to the layer below, it isn't going to buff out. But if the white is just from the pole, it should come off.

    Looks like the white is clear coat so you could probably polish it out but you will probably need to remove a fair bit of clear coat in the process which means eventually the paint may weather in that spot.

    Maybe...You have nothing to lose..well besides clear, but if you repaint it won't make a difference

    Before:

    After:


    Still a little bit left, but that is about as much as I could do without dramatically shortening the paint life.

    Sneek's right - This should clean up pretty nicely. There would still be some marks in the clearcoat, but they would be transparent instead of white.
