I'm guessing put it in a vacuum and never drive it again. Just look at it.

3M rubbing compound will take off the nastiest waterspots, even those etched into the paint. I would only recommend this if other treatments prove futile though.

Send me your address and I will mail you the stuff I use in Hawaii. It is $6.99/bottle good for three uses and works miracles. Unless you attack the spots immeidately after the fact, getting them out is a royal pain in the booty!
