I just discovered the exact same thing on the hood of my CTS yesterday (it's Crystal Red). I had three coasts of Zaino on it, BTW.
I spent 30 minutes yesterday with a couple of fairly mild to medium mild compounds. I got most of it out - although I can still see it if I look close at the right angle. BTW, clay bar did nothing to get rid of it.
I'm going to let is sit a few weeks and hit it again if it doesn't go away on it's own.
Frustrating!

Thanks for the advice
I really appreciate the additional suggestions. I have never had this problem before. Previously used liquid glass on 2000 Mag Red C5 as well. Very disturbed by reply about Crystal Red CTS and bird dropping marks as I have 2008 Crystal Red CTS as my daily driver. I am going to try:
1. 50% vinegar solution
2. rubbing alcohol
Will post results.
Regards,
Rich

Progress Report
Spots appear to be fading except for a very large one on fender. I tried vinegar and rubbing alcohol without any result. I am going to leave the spots for a week to see what happens.
Thanks everyone
