Good luck.  I'm still trying to get these out of my trunklid.  I'm about to

resort the the Meguiars 3-step process, after which I will resign myself to

a paint job some day in the future.  It is my understanding that some water

can leave mineral deposits in the paint which won't just wash off.



I hope this isn't your problem.  Good luck.
