Default Removing front end cement splatter? HELP!

Hey guys, so on the way to my physics final the other day a plastic bucket came flying out of a truck a few hundred feet in front of me, unfortunately I couldn't avoid it and when it hit my car some sort of cement, drywall, or something splattered all over my front end when it hit. I tried washing it as soon as I got home but to no avail. One thing that seemed to work was using a fine polishing compound and a microfiber towel while I was still washing it. It was working fairly decent but I was only able to cover some of the front bumper and hood in a little over an hour and I gave up. I thought maybe if I took a clay bar kit to it the stuff might come off, but the paint job is only 10 months old and I hate to use clay when the paint is so new. I also tried a bit of compound on the trim portion of the bumper but it didn't do a thing. If anyone has any idea's of what might work better please let me know! Any help would be appreciated!
The left side is where I was able to get most of the crap off btw
