Default how to remove paint on car

Some roads were recently repaved around here. It looks like the paint on the lines weren't dry just yet and cars seemed to pick up some paint on their tires. As of now, my front bumper has a ton of white spots. What's the best way to remove it all without effecting the original paint? Thanks

I found that Clay bar would remove paint spots like this. Had a similar experience a few years back and managed to get all the paint spots off using this method.
