By the way, I assume we're talking about the lighter circle in the lower third of the picture, with all the scratches around it? The darker spots look like tire dressing slung off, try wiping the tire down after you apply product, or using a water based product like 303 and letting it sit for a few minutes before driving off.
It's actually the darker spots which are raised. The lighter circle is where I originally tried to scrub the paint and the clear coat came off. The dealership tried a couple of different chemicals and a clay bar but could not get out the brown spots.
