Default water spots

I went vacation last week and had to leave the vette out side, my neighbor was nice enough to keep a eye on it for me, he was even nice enough to water the yard for us. here lies the problem... i think more water got on my black vet than the yard. do this for 7 days at 95+ and it really bakes things in. i have washed, used a clear coat scrub, 3m swirl remover, polishing compound and a clay bar and the water sports will not come off. they are now smooth to the touch but you can still see the outline. do you guys have any advice on how to get rid if them? im so upset.... my beautiful black car............ :cry :cry :cry :cry

I'm a newbie to the C3 forum, but white vineger always worked like a charm on my Triple Black C5.
