    clay bar will work you just have to be careful cause of silver is a very light color andf the clear coat is a bit weaker then lets say black\red it will work just be careful whne you use it

    Clay bar it and then buff the hell out of it. I reccomend a four stage buff with carnbel (sp?) wax. Add more if needed.

    You'll be buying a new clear coat

    If it's not really noticeable I'd just live with it. Or take to to some place that does it a lot. It's easy to mess up a paintjob.

    The clay bar was kinda tedious but workd better than I could have imagined. And if you run out of the included spray or whatever you can use meguiars quick detailer if you have it.
