Pics? Are we talking about a water spot or something like that?
I would get some finishing compound and just lightly take it out with that. Trick to that stuff is to let the compound do the work and not use gorilla strength to rub the gunk - and clearcoat - off.

ive always used acetone in the past to get tree sap and smears out of paint. some people are horrified by this so dont try it if you're scared. and i would only recommend this if youve tried everything else. just use microfiber towelettes and rinse well with water and polish/wax after.

ive been doing it for years with never a negative result. just spray the area with water first and keep a soaked rag(soaked with water) and a dry roll of paper towels next to you. like i said spray the area with water, then get a microfiber towel with a SMALL amount of acetone on it, rub it lightly until its gone, then wipe with the water rag and dry with paper a paper towel. like freaking magic.

well yea its not really on the paint, more like on the clear coat. it would dissolve actual paint fairly quickly.
