Looking closer I realized it must have been the card board piece ever so slightly brushing against the paint on the door. It also left a small line/scuff along the quarter panel in front of the right rear tire.
Bummer...went home and wiped it all down with water and took some Meguiar's Cleaner Wax-red bottle to it. Removed most of it. Now I can only see it in direct light and only if you look right at it. If I never showed it to anyone they probably would never notice. It is in the surface of the clear coat so I'm sure a detailing pro could remove the rest of it.
Years ago this would have really bugged me but I guess with age (57) comes maturity and now I realize its only a car.

On my vehicle when I had a good size scuff in my clear coat I used a product called Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound (Liquid Stuff) not the paste wax. It worked perfect, it removed the scuff from my clear coat and no matter what angle the sun hits my hood I can never tell where the scuff was. It works surprisingly amazing and it only costs like $13 a bottle.
Goodluck!
