Highway Deicer on my Aluminum Trailer

I have a brand new Aluminum horse trailer. I drove it on a icy day & I did not know the Road Dept. put a Deicer on the highway. It splashed on my trailer & now it has spots all over it. I have washed this trailer & I can not get rid of the spots. What can I do to get rid of the spots? Can you help me?

My aluminum horse trailer is dull. I was told I could spray with citric acid [on eBay or Amazon] and water to regain the shine. Would you please the ratios. Also, where I can purchase the citric acid . Thank you for you help.
