Mark in Frames, Possibly Paint

Morning all,

customer yesterday came out and and asked me about a mark on her frames (picture below). It’s been there since before I started. I assumed it was paint but she insists it’s not, but she’s not sure what it is. When touching it there is no discernible difference from it and the frame. So wondering if anyone knows what it is and if it’s possible to remove it. Customer mentioned she didn’t want to scrape it at risk of scratching the frame itself, which I totally understand. 

Thanks all!

Bronze wool would take that off ,

Magic sponge and some tar remover for car paintwork should do the trick if you don't have 000 grade bronze wool, but if it's water based fence stain then a magic sponge will take it off in seconds 

 
Thanks guys, I will give magic sponge and tar remover a go as I don’t fancy using wool just yet. 

Found this on Amazon, thoughts?

Personally, I don't see the point of buying so many, the cheaper they are, the faster they break up I would just buy a reasonable amount or pick up some from a cheap supermarket, a word of advise only use them on solid white frames or doors do not use them on coloured frames or composite doors at all as it will damage them
