^^^ Agreed. I'd also go w/t he first kit. The other has a bit of ceramic added and that's OK but I'd rather keep that as a separate thing, filed under "wax" even though it's not wax, that being more of a generic term nowadays.
If the clay doesn't do it, I'd go to a liquid polish, something with a tiny bit of fine abrasive in it.
The clay isn't a waste of money, you could go over the whole car with it at a later time. The polish is fairly specific so buy as little as you can, if it gets to that point. And I guess you could also just jump straight to it, the really fine polishes won't leave scratches behind.
The clay should clean the surface of the paint, specifically the clear coat. The polish will begin to slowly remove the clear coat, hopefully taking the stain with it. So you don't want to over-do this one.
