its a polish, i also tried t cut and that didnt work either. i think the water marks may have took away a layer of paint maybe :(

not sure then mate, take it back to where you got it painted and see if they can do anything, they might be able to machine polish it out.

ive had a look on google about water spots, there are 3 different types, most of them on mine should eventually clean out i think, but there are some where u can feel like a ditch in the paintwork, these are known as type 2 water spots that have eaten away at the paint a little, think ill just clean the roof everyday n see what happens, after i polish it today it made a slight improvement

also read that vinegar mixed with water is good for removing water spots, so i will give that a try aswell

you might find that it wont work very well because subs need a certain size enclosure to be able to get the back pressure right on the back of the cone, they're best to be used 'in a box' but if your spare wheel well was sealed then that would probably make it all sound better.
