Water spots eghh!

I left my garage door open after I parked it during a rain storm. The overhead door dripped water on the car, and since it was wet anyway I didn't give it a thought. After it dried it left spots on the paint that I cant get out. I have water droplet rings all over my paint.
Tried wax cleaners solvent and vinegar. Nothing seems to work.
Any Ideas?

Sounds like you need to try some abrasives. I would start with a clay bar and see how that works. If is doesn't work, try a polish. If you have a machine polisher us it. Primary rule is to use the least abrasive polish and or compound possible to get the job done.

I had the same thing happen to me a few days ago. Thing is I have multiple coats of Zaino on my car. The dried rain drops did not have a chance they came out by barely touching them. I know this does not help you out now, but for later, get that car protected. Not all products are the same in terms of protection.

Got rid of the spots!!

Vinegar, didn't work
polish cleaner, didn't work
Soap and water, didn't work
Wax remover, didn't work
Vinegar again, didn't work
Clay bar, didn't work
McGuire's swirl remover? Works like a charm.
