Plan A: If it's just latex paint from your trim, hot water and elbow grease should do the trick. Soak a sponge in hot water and let it sit on the trim paint to soften it, then rub. This won't work for oil based paints, however.

Plan B: Paint polish or rubbing compound. It goes without saying that you should use the least abrasive necessary to do the job. And be gentle. You don't want to rub away your clearcoat in the process.

Plan C (probably better than Plan B): Go to a body shop. They can probably fix in in 10 minutes (and for less money than the materials necessary for Plan B).

DO NOT TRY TO SCRAPE IT OFF YOURSELF!!! YOU WILL SLIP AND PUT A BIG GASH IN YOUR CAR. GUARANTEED.

Please post a picture if you can. If it's what I think it is, Menzerna Final Polish will safely remove the paint transfer. If you're in a hurry, you can go to a local auto store and get Meguiar's Swirl Remover 2.0. Not my first choice, but it should get the job done. Make sure you use a microfiber to apply and remove the product. Be gentle, and increase pressure as needed. Let the product do the work. Please don't use any other method other than using a product specifically designed to work on automotive paint. You don't need a compound as a compound is designed for a different application than yours.

looks like you should be able to remove most of it.

try polishing it out by hand but you might be better off if you have a porter cable.

where are you located?

That looks to be deep in some areas. You should be able to clean it up by hand and then see what else you have to work with. Take it to a REPUTABLE body shop that does Porsches. They should be able to guide you better. The picture you have is a bit too small for me to tell exactly what to do.

You will be able to remove the paint from the wall, but those scratches that I see on some areas are not going away . Especcially the edge near the wheel well area. I see things like that happening all the time, if you want it perfectly fixed, then go to a good body shop in your area and have them blend some color over the damages and then clear coat the entire bumper. Make sure they remove the bumper off the car before spraying it or you will end up with lifting clear coat in couple of years.
