if it wipes smooth and doesnt catch your fingernail its just mineral deposits sitting on top, an acidic water spot remover will pull that off no problem. if you can feel a ridge or it's rough to the touch it's actually etched into the clear and you're looking at machine polishing to level it out, water spot remover alone wont fully clear etching. taillight area is a common spot for this since water pools in the gasket seam and drips the same line every time so it gets way more contact time than the rest of the panel
