Water streaks

Just washed and used protect all on the beast. I’ve got these streaks that won’t seem to come off. A little history: Just bought this 2019 used Coachman Freelander 31BH. Seems a little early in its life to have permanent staining. Not sure why the pictures are sideways sorry.

Welcome from New Jersey, pictures didn't show streaks, There are cleaners that are primarily designed for streaks,

I’ll check some marine stores thanks, it’s crazy to think that something has etched its way into the gel coat on a 2019.

Meguiars boat and rv products are what I use. Safe on all fiberglass and gel coat surfaces. Their oxidation and gel coat restorers are great products. Use those, soap and wash, and wipe it down with a water spot remover and it should be good as new.

I agree with the water spot remover, it works well, are you sure that’s just not run off from your roof, that will create that also, keep a good wax on it and you should be alright.
