Today a red car parked next to mine left a marking on my door handle.

 

No need to mention his car was full of dents and scratches (you know the type)

 

Obviously I am not going to wait for driver to come out from a large building where he probably lives and tell him to fix this, so I will skip this part.

 

I tried to wipe this but it looks like its embedded in my paint.

 

Do I need to use those touch up paint kits? 

 

I have never used those before. I have Candy White.

That looks like a transfer rather than something that's removed your paint. Try an abrasive polish on a microfibre pad - something like Farecla G3.

Used this on a mates black car after a white van decided to leave a white mark on his door. 

Also used it to remove a haze mark from bird crap that wouldn't come off after washing. 

Try a clay bar, I've had decent success that way.

Even a touch of old school Autoglym Super Resin Polish or a quick whizz with T-cut will lift a wee mark like that out. I’d even have a go with a small touch of a household cream cleaner on a microfibre or towel like cloth over the end of you finger and be really gentle with it until the mark lifts out.

I tried some of iron-x which I had lying at home but it didnt do a thing (maybe its not the right product)

 

I will try some claying tomorrow.

 

but I can feel under my fingernail that this is little stratched like his color replaced at least part of mine.

Think iron-x is a contaminate remover, mainly to remove brake dust from alloys and paintwork and other airborne contaminates stuck on your paint. You need a slight abrasive to remove your newly acquired mirror flashes.

Iron X won't do anything to paint, it's designed to react with iron. Try clay and if no luck then an abrasive polish; t-cut, Farecla G3 or something labelled along the lines of "scratch remover".

 

If it turns out it has damaged the paint on yours, its going to look better/less noticeable without red paint. A small amount of touch up paint should improve things further if you have paint missing underneath the red.

This is good stuff.  If you want to add a little more 'bite' and speed up the process then it's always worth having a Sonus SFX pad:

Hard side for working in whatever compound you use and a softer side for buffing and finishing.  Makes hand polishing much easier. 

 

EDIT:  It's also worth taking your time when working on handles, swage lines etc as typically the paint is thinner in these areas.  Less of an issue with hand polishing but still something to be aware of IMO.

That will easily polish out with Autoglym SRP, have you got missing paint or is it reflection, the other white looking chips?

Same issue for me, on the same location on my car. Less than a week old and a white car left its mark on my passenger door handle, and getting it off led to swirl marks that I now can’t get off. NuFinish Scratch Femover was touted to do the job but after four applications it all still looks the same to me. Can’t notice it from a few metres away but enough to bug me. Unfortunately not everyone has the same care factor for their cars.

no, its reflection

I have managed to clay it.

 

If I can only find the person who did this half a year ago so I can clay him.

At the very least.

 

Makes me so angry how little respect some people have for others property.
