water spots appear let say, you wash your car on the sun, with the heat, the water vaporizes leaving a mark that consists of minerals, a white blurry ugly spot, that cannot be taken away so easily if not washed or cleaned immediately, it can become really hard to remove it, unless you buff the car or clear coated again,,,
but we are looking for alternatives,
you can avoid waterspots if you use distilled water or deionized water,
why, because that type of water has been previously treated to eliminate all the minerals and bad stuff.
you can avoid them also by washing your car on the shade,
in my case, it rained like hell and 30 minutes later the sun appeared, so my car was not dry, the sun evaporated the water off my car leaving spots all over the car.
that helped?
right now i am going to walmart to buy a clay bar, i will see how it goes.

I had the same problem and someone recomended Meguiar's Quick Wax. It worked great, no more water spots and the paint looks much shinier. Here's the link so you see what I'm talking about: http://www.meguiars.com/?spray-car-waxes/Quik-Wax

It's easy to use too because it's a spray, just follow the directions. You can find it at Pep Boys for about $6.
