Stain on Ultra White paint ?
I got like a stain on my Ultra White IS. It's like a dripping kind of stain. Looks like water from the rain may have got in the door handle and maybe some kind of oil or lubricant is in there and dropped down ? Idk. I'm just looking on how to remove this. I tried some light claying but didn't work. This car is brand new. Both sides under the handles have it.
Picture of how it looks like.

The proper practice is to always use the least aggressive method first when it comes to removing defects in your paint.
In this case, start with a thorough wash. If that does not work, I would proceed with decontamination with detailing clay and/or a bug/tar remover such as CarPro TarX. If decontamination does not work, I would proceed with a light polish using a white polishing pad and something like Meguiar's M205 Finishing Polish. Chances are the light polish will remove it. In the chance that it does not, you need to step up to a cutting compound such as Meguiar's M105 using something like an Orange Light Cutting pad (and then follow with the polishing step mentioned previously).
*** Remember to always add a fresh layer of protection (wax or sealant) after decontaminating or polishing your paint***
Let me know if you have any questions.

Similar to what Zach have said, least aggressive first, and slowly increase your pace. I would
1. Clay Bar first. This should take this off. I have done that on both my cars. If it doesn't, I would do step 2.
2. Light Polish such as using Meguairs Scratch X product. This will get rid of it for sure.
If 2 still fails, In the extreme case, compound should get rid of it. I do not recommend going this way lol.
