Have a problem!

I've used Zaino for some time now and have been very happy with it. That is the reason why I haven't posted here in a while. My Formula w/ a low wing has been sitting for about 1 1/2 months now for some mods and I haven't washed her in that time period. Usually she was washed every 5 days or so. I haven't really looked anywhere on the car except under the hood and under the car for that whole time. Tonight I am walking past the back and notice a puddle on the wing. Nothing strange as a puddle always forms there after a rain. Well I decided it was time to wash her. I washed the whole car and then dried it. I noticed that on the wing there is a big "ring" where the puddle had been. It's more than a water spot, it's more like a stain in the paint. Out of three people I was the only one to notice it, but after all, I am the one that counts. Is there a cure for this or has my neglect biten me in the ars?
TIA

It sounds like its a giant water spot. Have you tried rubbing alcohol yet to break it up? Hopefully the stuff didnt etch itself into the paint.

I would try clay first, if that does not work, and then white vinegar, if that does work 3M Scratch and Swirl Remover.
