It didn't work for me unfortunately .
I use vinegar on the SL (marks build up under the rear edge of the hood) ... didn't know meths would work, will have to try that.
Hi,
You could try Duragloss 755 - which works wonders at removing water spots and tree sap from glass.
In the UK you can find it here: Duragloss Nu Glass Is a blend of cleaners and selected abrasives formulated to remove water spots from glass surfaces. Removes water spots without scratching the glass surface. Can be applied by hand or mechanical buffer. Size: 8 oz CCS Ltd - Automot (other retailers are available
)

Can I ask how or where you wash your car as if it has a caustic based detergent used on it this will eat into the trims almost like a rainbow effect making it near on possible to remove you could try a compound from a motor factors or local body shop like autoglym rapid renovator ect
Hope this helps

Mine had similar marks, only feint, but noticeable. I managed to remove them with this Turtle Wax Ice Synthetic Paste Polish Kit ? Yorkshire Trading Company but I think it is discontinued for some reason as I've been trying to get hold of a new tub, without success.
I see that they now do a liquid version TURTLE WAX ICE CAR SYNTHETIC LIQUID POLISH MICROFIBRE CLOTH & APPLICATOR FG6109 | eBay which like the original synthetic paste can be applied to all paint types, plastics, and trim without leaving any white residue. I haven't tried it myself yet, but probably will if I can't find another tub of the original paste.
