Track debris over Opticoat

So I took my car to the track for the first time about a month ago. It rained most of the day but was still a blast. The next day, I washed my car and noticed debris on the sides of my car, mostly behind the front wheel back to the middle of the drivers door on both sides. I tried everything, including a light powerwash just now and it is not coming off.

I Opticoated my car over the summer, so I don't want to use polish. Can I use a claybar? Any suggestions?

I suspect that the debris is rubber from the front tires. Anyone else ever experience this?

Yes, clay is the best starting option as it should not strip the coatings.

A good hand wash will have better results than a "light powerwash".
