Tried a power sprayer 1 inch from the spots? Unless it's chipped, a PS blasting out some serious PSI should blast those spots right off.

Sounds like hard water spots. Use some Goo Gone soap. Stuff is great.

You must have the hardest water on the planet as just any good grease cutting soap (ala the Goo Gone citrus soap I mentioned) is great to get rid of those spots.
