Best paint cleaner

Whats the best cleaner i can get. I used Turtle Wax Restorative polish to clean up my IROC's faded and stained paint. Only the hood won't clean up. It shines real nice but the stains are still there. The stains look like they were caused by some kind of liquid spill. The finish is damage but the paint is speckled. Does anyone know what i should use to remove those stains. I don't want to go for a repaint.

A buffer with a fine compund, followed by a NATURAL wax, or just a polish.

I would use 3M Microfinish compound on a buffer wheel.

Sounds like it could be from tree sap or acid rain.????

Zaino clay or Clay magic
then 3M FIne cut rubbing compound
then your favorite wax or Zaino

Or, if its really bad, clay it then wet sand with 2000 grit and water/soap lube, then 3M compound and wax.
