Pics are a bit blurry, but it looks like your clearcoat is beginning to peel. Not much you can do for it apart from a re-paint. Can't really tell what's happening without better pics. Have you tried to clay bar the affected areas?

I have clayed the whole roof but those spots don't budge.

Its probably safe to assume that its acid etching from bird poo. Only way to get rid of it fully is repaint sadly...
