Angry Removing tire marks from paint ??

So i arrived at work today morning and proceeded to back into my secluded spot. As i was backing up a car speeds through behind me and hit my car with her tire. Nothing wrong with her car, but now I have a huge tire mark and was wondering what you guys would recommend in order to take it out. Has anyone ever taken tire marks off their paint and if so what method did you use? Any information would be helpful.

I just use a clay-bar when removing rubber marks off my car from the track.

So i found out that even though she kinda cut me up and didnt even bother to stop as i was reversing into the spot, it actually counts as my fault... supposedly its the drivers obligation to look back when they are reversing even if the other driver seems to be at fault. I had a witness who works next door who also thought that it was the girls fault and yet the cop that i talked to said it wasnt. This law is a bunch of BS !!!

I'd start off by washing the area carefully with light pressure. Next try a clay bar to remove the rubber transfer on your paint. Next you can try something stronger like mineral spirits or the Stoner Tarminator. Next try polishing the area starting with lighter polishes and using more aggressive ones as needed. This should remove just about any rubber transfer on your paint for sure. If you have any questions please let me know.
