My wife has the aluminum covers on her Sporster. She simply says keep rubbin.. I say change them out for chrome ones.

BTW, she used Meguiars Motorcycle All-Metal Polish

Not sure what all you've tried... but I had water spots all over my bike due to gettin hit with a sprinkler system, and baking all day in the Texas sun. I used several different products with no success. I finally tried a 50/50 vinegar/water mix... sprayed it on, let it soak for a few minutes, and when I wiped it off the spots were gone for good. Not making any promises, but its worth a shot.

aluminum polish on a polishing wheel

Soak with windex glass spray. You will need to use steel wool, keep the surface SOAKED AND WET. LIGHTLY rub with the steel wool. check as you go.
I can't emphasize enough, the words SOAKED AND WET....AND LIGHTLY.
