While you took good pictures and the spot is clearly visible, it is hard to tell from the picture. with the steps you have already taken, looking at it, again, hard to tell from the pictures, it seems like it may be an actual issue with the clear coat. If you gently rub your finger over it, do you feel anything?

If you've done all that already, my next move would be to hit it with a polisher and some compound and see what happens.

Clay bar your car see if that helps

seems like it was bird poop etched into the coat. searched around and i found the hair dryer method used by some ppl. got rid of.....85 percent of by just heating up that spot. not really visible under white light now...unless i really look for it.

link to the method used by this youtuber if anyone else find themselves with this problem

thanks for all the comments!

try a swirl remover first before any compound. sometimes literally swirl remover on a wax pad can get rid of minor stuff like that.
