RE: acid rain on my trunk????

If the damage is only surface and not down to the paint then you are ok.

Try using some clay bar to remove the water spot stain. (search "clay" on this site for more information on it)

If that does not work then I would try using a mild car polish. If that does not work, then try a medium weight car polish. If the spot stain is still there then you might try a heavy duty car polish to remove the stain / or better idea...take it to a professional detailer to help you with the problem. The reason I say this, if you are at the point of using heavy duty car polish to remove the stain then it's obviously more serious than just a surface stain. You don't want to accidentally polishing off the clear coat and down to paint. Ouch.
