Usually only way to get rid of it if it keeps turning white is acid and that's certainly not something I'd suggest to a "newbie"
Try Gunk - never had that problem on my old B when I used that.
You are brushing the stuff before rinsing too aren't you?

Well for starters you need to agitate whatever you spray on otherwise it won't be that effective and is also more likely to cause the spotting.
I tend to only recommend gunk for off the shelf decent stuff.
Spray or brush on, then agitate with a brush then rinse off.
