Try a 50/50 mix of white distilled vinegar and water. Works for me.
Won't hurt the glass nor the vinyl.
Also, in the future if you wash your own car, try some
Turtle Wax car wash, that stuff seems to NOT leave water
marks.

After you remove the water spots, wash with Prima Mystique then dry with Prima Hydro.

First thing you should do after HAND WASHING is to clay bar then wax. Clay baring is not a difficult mysterious process. Shouldn't take but 20 or 30 minutes. Go to the 'Detailling 101' forum section and learn all you can about caring for you paint. Octaneguy is the detailing guru on NAM.

The Prima products are highly recommended. I use Griot's but if I'd met Prima first that's where I'd be.
