What is this paint contamination?

First time I get my car in the garage, and I noticed several locations where it seems like the clear coat/ paint is damaged/contaminated…you need a certain light condition to see it.

I tried clay bar, hard water remover, tar remover, nothing will take these off…

What is it?

Looks like etching from bird or bugs.
Try clay.

You’ll need to polish that out with a finishing polish and machine most likely.
