Okay you are probably right about the gasket stain. Sounds as if whatever the composition of the gasket broke down enough from age and weather effects leached it into the paint. A good paint polish with the right tool followed buy a good wax coat should do it then. I would not use that pictured tool on my car. As I stated I have several machines the pros use for polish/wax that I thought I could handle the job with. They just run to fast and it was so easy to burn through the clear then paint. But again if you try that be sure to practice on something first to get the hang of it. Good luck.
