Op, I just read your post again. #1: Your paint is already damaged. #2: You can further the damage by trying to remove the white paint by polishing the paint, but that's the only way to remove the paint. You could always fix it later by wetsanding + touching up, but that's a job for a professional detailer.
Boba - you need to learn how to detail if you're going to be a moderator in the detailing forum. OP mentioned he had what we detailers call 'paint transfer' and for that, we use claybar as initial step.

if that doesn't work, then we take it a step further and use a mild polish and go more coarse as required.

wetsanding is the very last resort and should not be done by a novice, apparently like yourself.
