chances are if its just a stain and its not gritty a clay bar will be your best option. Failing that a brillo pad covered with peanut butter

Sounds like the paint has etched inot the clear coat on your car. I personally think i brillo pad would only make things worse. I would try a polish as they have abbrasives in where a wax doesn't. If this doesn't work could try claybar but IMO your best bet would be a good polish and machine polisher.
