Start by clay-barring it. Any machine applied polish will remove them. A chemical cleaner will do wonders as well. Klasse, XMT360, or poor-boys all in one will do great too. Invest in a porter cable polisher it'll be well worth the money, probably one the easiest most versatile detailing tools you can get.

As mentioned above, any polish or all in one should work.You can try to remove them by hand but most likely a machine will need to be used. I also recommend the Porter Cable polisher. A good all in one product I like to use is Optimum Poli Seal, this will clean the paint, correct light swirls and scratches, plus leave a layer of protection behind.

Another thing you could try is a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water in a spray bottle, The vinegar will help break up the minerals that caused the waterspots. This method will save you some money.

+1on the claybarI'm in Guam, so I have to wax the car often, and because its in the rainy season, I get waterspots like a ****. I did a MAJOR wash/wax yesterday (btw, a PC is next on my to buy list...it took 5 hours!!!!). And it rained today...but after you get it all nice and pretty, park it somewhere else, or you'll have to hit it up with quick detailer often.
