Default What's the best way to remove these water marks?

My car has quite a few water marks! I can't say i like it, but what is the best way to safely remove these? Is there a certain product out there that works wonders? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I'm about to go nuts! Thanks

Douche your car!!! [:-]

Seriously, a 50/50 mix of water and distilled white vinegar will remove those mineral spots. We use that all the time on boats, even those that have a clear coat over paint.

I would try this unless someone knows of a reason not to.

I would first claybar the whole car to remove all of the contaminants from the paint. You can try the 50/50 water and distilled vinegar or you could use an abrassive polish to remove them. Start out with a light abrassive polish and if that doesn't work bump up to the next abrassive.
