    Is it on the paint or glass? It could be etched pretty deep if it is in the paint. Maybe you can post up a photo.

        I usually use meguiars all wheel brightener on the paint because it contains acid.

                          If you've already tried to compound it with a DA and even the Wheel Brightener trick didn't work, [great tip btw] I would suggest you learn to love the little waterspot behind the tire..

                          I've got a dimple on my hood that bugs me if I let it. It's probably similar to your waterspot situation. [except my situation is a small dent in the middle of my hood, where people can actually see it. Lol]
                          And just like you don't feel like it's completly safe to wetsand, I'm too chicken to take a suction cup to my dimple.. And last time I checked I'm no expert in PDR either... With my luck I'd probably wind up making it worse if I tried either of those 2 tricks. I did try the compressed air/blow dryer trick but it didn't work..

                          My advice is learn to live with it. At the end of the day it's just a little waterspot behind your spare tire

                              Going to have to agree with this as well.
