What and how can I clean it?

I ordered a prepainted aero kit from classic. It's been sitting in my room nicely wrapped and I decided to give it a nice little wax with the DP banana gas. Everything was going good, until I was doing the rear bumper. At the bottom passenger corner there was little mark. I thought it could of been dust or something so I just tried wiping it off. It didn't work, so I took out some quick detailer. That didn't work either, I don't know what it is, but its on the paint and I feel like scratching it off. The kit is basically brand new so whatever it is, it must of came from where the kit was painted. I took a picture to see if anyone here could tell what it is.

try a mild polish like ScratchX on a foam pad.

if it doesn't come off after 5 passes, just leave it alone. no one will see it.

Hard to tell from the picture--should set the camera on Macro mode. Regardless, have you tried clay yet??? It's the least abrasive thing to try, short of something like goo gone.
