the mr.clean magic eraser lives small scratches on the surface of the paint, it would work on white though

i tried to get some stuff off of my black car, and it left a bunch of marks all over the place.

Like said, I'd personally use gasoline for this.

Acetone will work, as was suggested, but so will rubbing alcohol or ethanol. Get some and use a microfiber cloth, and it should come off almost instantaneously.

use a soft rag, like a dish cloth would work to avoid scratches if you need to put some pressure on it.

I would just use a microfiber and some compound. Then a little wax over the area to shine it up.
