You could also try some carnauba wax and microfiber applicator with some good elbow grease

Art, if you were not able to remove it during your paint correction phase I have a feeling you need a solvent to tackle this.

If you can't take it off with rubbing compound, what I would try is gasoline on a microfiber towel. If not try a magic eraser, final solution would be to sand it.

A lot of good suggestions here
If the transfer is from a parking lot pole it is probably enamel.Try something more aggressive like a compound/rotary/white polishing pad to bust it off in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

Re: Unable to remove paint transfer (anyone have any other ideas?)
I have always used the solvent approach for more difficult paint transfers. My go to, if stubborn, is Goof Off. One finger poking through a MF and a dab of Goof Off and work each "stripe" or spot. Then FULLY CLEAN the paint to remove any residual solvent. Remember, this is an above surface defect and is best removed from the paint while leaving the paint underneath as is. If whats under the paint transfer is a scratch then, and only then, will i attempt to level the paint with polishes, compounds or even a light wetsand if neccessary. Basically, i don't like reducing the thickness of the paint underneath a paint rub transfer unless i have to.
As always, boys and girls, that is just my approach and opinion. I do understand how some may prefer a compound to effectively remove the more stubborn transfers.

Non-chlorinated brake cleaner works great for paint transfer's. Just make sure you wash the spot after you remove the paint. I usually just use a waterless wash after.
