Mirror scrape

I was exiting a parking garage last night and my left mirror just touched the crash pole. Now I have a small yellow strip down the side of my white mirror cover. Any suggestions on how to get that paint off?
Thanks

Thanks

I 2nd the clay. Step 1 is removing the contaminated paint from your car. The clay will do that.
