The longer it sits on the surface the harder it is to get it off.
When the Marine Finisher came he brought his scraper, buffer and 3M Rubbing Compound. Didn't remove the spots/stains. He then used the 1000 grit Wet/Dry Sandpaper sanding wet. That did the job after a lot of work. He then used the 3M Rubbing Compound to finish that area. I'm on my own now with the rest of my 22 foot boat to do. This is bad news stuff that's why I'm posting it again to alert others so nobody has to deal with this like me.
