Water Spot Remover

Any recommendations for a good water spot remover?
I decided to hose down the car and did not wipe it off. Later there were water spots that I could not remove.
Next time I will just wash the car and dry it off. Lesson learned!

I use the SB3 Destroy calcium/water spot remover, it works like magic. Used it on wifey's mosaic black metallic SUV, and it removed already hardened spots in a few minutes. Just follow the instructions.

if they are pretty fresh just try some 50/50 distilled water and white vinegar
remember about waterspots. If they are on long enough they will etch in. So even if the waterspot remover doesnt look like it removes them. It removes the minerals that have been left behind that is needed. What would be left is the scarring from it etching into the paint and would need polished to remove them.
So just because some waterspots dont look like any improvements from the waterspot remover, it removed the minerals so they will no longer cause anymore damage to the paint.

I just recently picked up my car. First black car I ever owned. I thought it would never look dirty but boy oh boy did I learn it's the exact opposite! So ahhhh, I picked up a good spray bottle and filled it with vinegar for the water spots

Yeah, no use in engaging with an "AI" bot.
