how to remove tarmac / rubber pieces from trunk?

Hey guys!

Not sure if this already exists, but I have these little black spots on my rear trunk / bumper. I think they're pieces of tarmac... they do come off but only with extreme rubbing.

Anyone has some advice on get rid of those spots with some kind of cleaning method?

Thanks!

They are very difficult to remove. I found denatured alcohol to work best, but that is still with a lot of scrubbing.

I use a claybar to remove them. But it is still a lot of rubbing.
