Flying Retread

The car in front of me on the highway kicked up a large chunk of road debris which smacked into my hood(bonnet), followed by windshield and roof. The impact was so great I was sure things got dented. The good news is no dents that I have found yet, and I don't believe the paint was scratched, but some rather impressive looking black streaks now run across the front of the car. From appearance, I would say it was a piece of a retread.

What's the best way to remove the black marks without impacting the paint. Soak with washing solution, scrub with a lambswool, claybar, finger nail...? If the weather cooperates tomorrow, my plan was to do a thorough wash and wax job - will this be enough to eradicate the black skid marks?

Thanks in advance.
