I guess there's a polite way of telling those folks to get off the car... but bottomline, whether you tell them or not, immediately or not, the damage is ALREADY DONE. Any amount of contact by people who don't know jack about paint and how delicate it is, will have left a mark/scratch/mar on your paint. The question is HOW MUCH DAMAGE has it caused. Time to get the buffer out, and hope you can remove the damage.

If it were me, I would have ran to the car, swearing underneath my breath, and would have sternly told them to get off the car, regardless of if I knew them or not.
