Default Removing accident caused paint

I backed into a red pole today and while there was no structural damage, I was left with a nice big blotch of red paint on my black car. Just regular soap and water got some of it off, but there's still a lot there. Any tips for removing the paint without causing further damage to my car?

sounds like clay or polish will take off the excess paint. Hopefully there's no damage underneath

You think thats all...it seems like it may be tougher than just using polish or clay

Try 3M Adhesive remover and a clean towel. Should take the red paint right off without damaging anything else. Safe for your paint as well.
