It`s hard to say what that is... more information would be helpful, like what it feels like, how it came about, what you`ve tried, etc, etc...
It helps to volunteer information so that people have something to work with. :up

i`m no expert so i can only tell ya what i "feel" is going to happen if i try to "remove" something like that....i feel it`s a small area of clear coat failure....looks almost like bad schelaque(?)...i`ve hit my areas with a mild polish/cleanser and it didn`t do anything...i have something more abrasive but i think if i used that i would essentially remove to cracked pieces and leave a clear coat crater...then just to TEST on a small crater, and if i had a clear coat pen, i would fill that in....i would try to deal with it like touch up i guess....maybe wetsand....polish....i`m guessing here....like i said i`m no expert....i would try this but i got access to nothing....
T T .....good luck and if you figure out a method let me know!!!!!

I had that exact same mark on an 84 Accord. The car was so old, I figured the heck with it and slapped wax/polish right over top of it. The car was so old I got props for making it shine regardless of a spot like that.
