I even gave it a going over with a clay bar but that did nothing to the marks (although it is lovely and smooth everywhere else now). Any ideas?
You need a simple foam applicator, a clean microfibre towel and either Autoglym paint renovator or Meguairs Ultimate compound.

Put a pea size amount of product on the foam applicator and rub over the damaged area until the product becomes hazy.

Use the microfibre towel to remove the residue and the marks should be gone.

To help future prof apply a good quality wax to the car and remove any bird droppings/ tree sap etc as soon as you can. Leave it in situ and this will cause the damage to your clear coat that you now have.

A bottle of rapid-detailer and a microfibre cloth kept in the boot is handy to remove bird droppings etc as soon as it happens.
