next time, wash your car in the afternoon when the sun almost goes down.

The water spots should go away after you clay and polish after washing your car.

I had baked in water spots when I took a vacation out to Florida for about 5 days, then came back for 1, then left for Texas for another week. It rained soon after I left to Florida and no one cleaned my car so after getting my car fully cleaned by this really good car wash I noticed I had HORRIBLE water spots

I wound up just getting my car buffed soon after because my car was in for suspension repair, repainting my front left fender and painting my fascia, just had them buff out the spots and the overspray from my headlights as well
