need paint removal help

My drunk neighbor hit my car behind the back tire this morning with his POS Honda.How do I get his gold paint off my black car without scratching it any more?My thumb nail is not working fast enough.It's about 4 six inch streaks no dents and not enough damage to go to a bodyshop.Thanks

You could try getting some rubbing compound, the more abrasive type of polishing compound, then use regular polish afterwards on it because it will dull the paint a little bit. I've done this for smaller spots than you have though, but it may help.

Yeah when I bought my car there was white paint down the side from some b!tch how cant drive a third gen. I used rubbing compound and then some wax. Worked like a charm. Just try and only rub it on the gold paint and not your paint to prevent swirl marks that you might not want. Use small tools.
