Its probably etched into the paint and its hard water stains or acid rain stains. The car probably has to be buffed.

I had some on my car that had to be buffed out. Id claybar it first and see if that helps. If not, itll have to be buffed out. Had a buddy in car club buff mine out without too much problem. If its really bad, wetsanding is the only way to get em out.

The spots ar enot from acid rain we don't have that here. They are just from having the car parked outside in storms and such. So ya'll say some buffing will fix it? Cool; about how much should that cost?

Depends on how long it takes to buff em out. However much labor is times hours of buffing that are required. Guy that did mine buffed the hood, trunk, and few other areas in less than a hour. Id guess and say around $100 but thats just a guess.
