is it a foam applicator or what?

the paint cleaner is basically a light polish.. shouldn't need to worry about marring unless you're using a rag or something

At this point I would take it to a professional.

Dont take a chance and try fixing it on your own. Spend a few bucks and get it removed the right way before you cause yourself a headache and a hefty bill.

I've dealt with those on a white pearl Subaru. For me, they came off with a clay bar.
