Chris, it gets washed with some fairly general wash/max stuff from Halfords, always dried with one of those drying towels and infrequently polished with autoglym super resin polish. There's no chance I'm making this problem is there?

Lastly there are a number of power stations near us and it's more noticeable here than anywhere I've lived than the car can get dirty after a few days just sitting outside and not being driven
Could be chemicals in the water in that case. They can actually eat through the lacquer then cause the water spots under the surface. Check out the link I posted, some good info on their. If the bonnets not been resprayed its looking more likely that this could be what the marks are.

Pretty sure the rain water will get contaminated from power stations to an extent.

By the way I'm not just spouting random stuff, I'm a pretty well educated 29 y/o and currently study at one of the top universities did a good bit of reading on this for you. Too much free time at this time of year.....
