Mike has had a family emergency with his son and may not be able to respond for a bit so let me jump in with what I know about it. Bear with me as I'm not as eloquent nor experienced as Mike.
Water spots are basically of two types. One is an accumulation of mineral deposits that has dried and hardened on the finish. The other is etched into the paint by acid rain.
Vinegar will dissolve the mineral deposits. Some of these are very hard and may require wetting a paper towel with vinegar and laying it over the spots for several minutes. Vinegar will also remove your wax so after removing the deposit you need to rewax. Besides vinegar, paint cleaners like MPPC or an abrasive product like DACP will work.
The more serious problem is the etched areas. These require a fairly abrasive product to level out the defect. Products like DACP or #80 should make a dent in these depending on how deep they are.Jim

In addition to vinegar as an option, often I find that clay will remove such deposits as they are generally sitting above the surface. Good luck!
