I would say start with a thorough wash, possibly using dish soap for a little extra power. It might clean the black off, but more importantly, it will get rid of any dust or grit that might be on there so that when you move on to more aggressive options you don't scratch the paint.

Cleaners that come to mind are:
-Cleaner such as Klasse All-in-one
-Very very fine polish such as Prima Amigo
-Claybar

Yesterday on Hwy 66, I ended up with a McDonalds bag stuck in the intercooler scoop, flailing back and forth on the hood for 2 or 3 miles before it blew off. Left some very, very fine scratches in my hood, which Amigo quickly polished out of existence.

Good luck!
