I need help!

some a$$hole with an 18 wheeler merge into my lane and didnt see me. i look in my side mirror and see him slow coming in and swirl to the right to avoid him. i didnt felt him tapping me nor touching me, probaly cause i swirl real hard so i didnt think much of it nor thought he actually hit me. stupid of me, i should of went out the car and look . got out of the car later and saw his paint across my rear quarter panel , about 2 foot long of it. lucky it didnt dented anything. it did made my paint chip a little bit.
i need help from you guys, ive tried googone to take off his paint but that didnt do much. what else do you guys recommend using? thanx!

Acetone or nail polish remover. Takes off black plastic residue also. Just try a little in an inconspicuous area (under rear bumper, for example) just to makes sure your paint can handle it and then clean the area well after you're done to remove any that's left (yeah, it will probably just evaporate quickly).
