My car door was snatched out of my hand by the wind and banged against the wing mirror on another car. There was no damage to the wing mirror but I have a small but nasty black mark across my paintwork (silver) - any ideas what I can use to get it off??

Try methalated spirits first on a soft cloth, if that does not work try white spirit or petrol. Failing that use a very fine abrasive such as silver polish. Finally use car polish to restore the gloss finish.
Avoid cutting compounds such as T cut.

Usually just using polish will get rid of the marks made by black plastic mirrors, don't use anything abrasive or it will damage the paintwork
