engine oil spill, scuff marks

So I was checking my engine oil the other day, pulled out the dip stick and spilled a drop of oil on the right fender. I wiped it off with a paper towel and at the place where I spilled and wiped off the oil. There are these scuff marks, when I run my finger over its really rough. Couldn't take a pic, not that noticeable to show up on a picture.

Has this happed to anyone? if so how do I remove the scuff. Tried using clay, no results.

So you got scuff marks due to the engine oil you wiped off your fender?

He probably rubbed too hard and scuffed the clear coat. You would need to get that area polished. You can do it yourself or get a detailer to do it for you.

EDIT - Just read he used a paper towel and no wonder he has scratches in the paint.
