Default will this hurt my paint job?

I have a white truck....got some mist of black on it...I know rubbing it with a cloth and rubbing alcohol will probably take it out, but will I be damaging the paint job in the process?

At least ur white. You won't see swirl marks if you rub to much lol. Sometimes black is a curse escpecially with ll the dust out here. It's never clean, 10 mins after I wash it its got a coat of dust on it

The fenders are amazing. Keeps so much off the truck. Especially tire dressing which before was impossible to keep off the paint
