If the marks are in the clear coat and not worn through to the color coat, try a rubbing compound. You may need to do this several times to remove the marks.

They may need a good buffing to remove, and even then it may not completely get rid of the marks.

Those marks are from the 4 rubber bumpers on the bottom of your pillion. It makes kind of a boot scuff on your paint. Polishing compound should do the trick.

First, try using a clay bar to remove surface contamination.

Next, try using a cutting (buffing) compound and a wool pad with a non-DA buffer. That should clean up the clean coat.

Lastly, use a good quality polishing compound with a DA and foam pad. Follow that up with hand wax.
