You should check the Wash&wax section.

It also depends on how deep the water spots have etched into your clear coat. If it feels rough going over it with your finger, you can first try vinegar, and going over it with a clay bar afterwards to get all the deposits off.

If it has etched into the paint, you need to determine how far it has etched in, and use an appropriate polish for it, and after that wax it.

Just make sure you start of with the least abrasive method possible, and then work your way down from there is the results aren't what you are looking for.

You can always try adding some extra amonia to Windex - I've heard that will remove spotting from glass but be careful when working with raw amonia - it's nasty stuff

Hey Brian, anything that is related to cleaing needs to be in Wash and Wax in the off topic forum.

Since I cant move this thread there feel free to restart one over there. Thanks...
