What you have to determine is what exactly is on the hood, if it is anything. It sounds like you might have a spot of dried and hardened tree sap. Generally this appears as a crusty, opaque, dry spot. If this is what it is, then it should be a bit raised off the surface of the hood. Usually these can be removed with solvents available for just that purpose, I think 3M makes a remover that will do the trick. Sometimes it takes a bit of time to soften up dried sap with the solvent, but eventually you can get it all off with repeated applications and then follow it up with a wash, polish and wax. These solvents often remove you wax as well, so you should rewax the whole hood when you are done. If it is not a raised area, then it could be something that got on the paint that was acidic or basic and wasn't cleaned off, thus etching your paint/clearcoat. If this is the case then you will need to repair the area yourself with more abrasive things (I won't go into it, too long), or have a pro do it. Hope this helps.
