Default Fat bob denim paint ?

Hey everyone so I was on here a few years ago with my 2010 iron in denim black and just a couple months ago traded it in on a 2015 denim black fat bob ... The bike has a 1000 miles on it and seen a sprinkle once ... The other day I noticed what appeared to be dried water spots ?!? I went to clean it off with denim cleaner and nothing even brought it to Harley and they took it in the back couldn't get it out and said there is no physical damage its not a scratch or dent ...

Any suggestions or experience with this ?? I'll take pictures tomorrow

Thank you
Matt

Plain Windex should work on it.

Never had anything on my black denim Fat Bob that a little warm water and dish soap wouldn't get rid of.

Thanks guys I tried both of those things before bringing it to Harley ... Like I said I have experience with the paint from my iron which is why in so confused and a little annoyed ... I'm not as ocd about it as I used to be because if you ride it a lot things happen it's just a mystery to me and everyone at ocean county Harley apparently lol

I have the exact same bike with the exact same paint and use Meguiers quick detailer in the purple bottle. Works great.

Hard water spots. Really tough to get off. Someone washed that bike in the sun when it was hot and let the water dry on it. Detail shops use an acid to get it off gloss black vehicles. Not sure if that would work on Denim but don't know why it wouldn't...

Rain water won't do that. Is it possible it was there when you bought it and you didn't notice?

Idk because I know how to take care of denim paint and literally I have used the hd brand denim paint cleaner and a micro fiber clothe ... It might be possible but I don't think so ... I am waiting to hear back from Harley because something isn't right ... 5 years of hard riding on my last bike and never got one of these now i have all these ?? Idk
