Default Stains on clear coat

Hi there, recently bought a silver GS. I found some weird stains on the hood can't really get rid of. It's so light and hard to spot but this really bugs me.



Just wondering, are there any solutions out there I can try?

Is it a raised imperfection or is it like a bird dropping etching? Either way, you may need to wet sand it and then polish that area with a dual action polisher. If you have never wet sanded a car, let a professional do it.

It's more like paint imperfection to me because my hand can't feel that area......
