Remove spotting from clearcoat and clear bra

Does anyone know how I can remove spotting from the paint surface and clear bra? I have tried the crystalline clear bra treatment from Premier and also used Meguiar's polish on the paint surface and none were working. The spotting was due to previous washes from the CR Spotless which has algae growth.

Any help? If it makes a difference, my car is a Basalt Black Porsche.

The above 2 are for clear coated surfaces. I'd try these for the clear bra:

According to this thread, detailing clay (clay bar) should also work?

Also will depend on the make of the clearbra. Some brands have a clearcoat and others do not.

Sometimes film will actually burn in spots if water drops sit on it and is left out in the sun. The water droplet will act like a magnifying glass causing the film to burn in. If thats the case there is nothing you can do to get rid of it. Pictures are worth a thousand words... and it would help a lot if you would post some.

Bought a new white Cayman S in 2006 that had water marks that were baked in, probably from just sitting on the dealers lot. Tried everything short of wet sanding the car. Never did remove them.

Not sure if this is a saving grace or something I should be ashame of.

My car has barely 1900 miles after a year and the total time it has exposed to the winter sun after I washed it and have this spotting issue is probably less than 1 hour. Will it help to lessen the chance of baked-in?

Bring it in the original clear bra installer to have him assess it as he would have the proper solution. As others have mentioned, it is dependent on film applied, which is why its important to speak with your original installer for a solution. Good luck.

Purchased my car CPO and came with the clear bra. Dealer didn't know the manufacture of bra. Its stained in a couple areas. Tried clay bar, alcohol & goof off. Any other suggestions or is it time to replace it?

This is generally no a job for a non professional unless it is a small area. I would think a water spot remover like chemical guys and a polish via da. Possible a 1 or 2 step process
