The clear coat is really thin especially on plastics. If you are lucky, you probably rubbed down to the base coat. I would go to Autozone or pep boys and pick up a clear coat touch up pen and dab very, very lightly on that area, maybe even use some type of foam brush with a small tip and dab it on.
