I had a small stain( Not Sure What It Was) on the fender about the size of eraser on a pencil, I tried some Turtle Wax Liquid Ice a couple of times Rubbed Very Lightly) and made it better but did not get rid of it

I cannot get to the car right now, I know this paint is touchy, the spot is small, dime size, very thin light grey, but you can see through to the black paint.

Yeah, organisol (vinyl paint) is not very "tough". Make SURE whatever cleaner you use it doesn't contain any chemical in it that ends in "one" (ketones, like acetone) since those will completely dissolve organisol paint pretty quick. Toluene/xylene/glycol ethers are pretty tough on organisols too. You might be stuck with hot soap & water....."maybe" some type of alcohol (isopropanol, ethanol) but be careful with those too and "test in an inconspicuous area first" just to be sure.

If it were me, I'd try car wash in water with a bristle brush but selecting what kind of rigidity to use would be a problem. I'd use the softest bristles first and work my way to stiffer until I got some noticeable results. Just an idea I had but it isn't proven from my part yet.

Why rub on the paint at all? Let the cleaner/chemical loosen it. As mentioned try your solvents and soaps in a hidden area first to make sure it will not melt the paint. You have a textured paint and rubbing it will change the texture.
Do you have any idea what this stain is? Petroleum or organic based? Tree sap, bug juice, food, paint, oil/grease?
Try cooking oil & peanut butter they can loosen things and make them slide off. They will leave a residue and feed the paint and make it look different. A bit of simple green Will remove that.
Some brake clean removes paint, others do not. Experiment with that if needed.
Bristle brush is not much different than sandpaper.
