I cropped out just the part that matters...
Looks like someone rubbed something abrasive like a compound over a spot of some type. Now you have the spot plus scratches.
Take a white polish and a white cloth and rub lightly on the spot. If you pull the color of the paint the clear coat is missing.
If you don't pull the color of the paint then what you're experiencing is a phenomena characteristic to modern clear coat paints and that is they are hard.
Hard in relationship to the only other paint system we've had in the known history of mankind and the automobile, which is single stage.
This is why so many people have switched to machine polishing because they have discovered how difficult it is to fix paint defect by hand due to the hardness of the paint.
I cover ALL of this in my how-to book.

So do some testing and tell us if you're seeing colored paint on your testing cloth.
