You can try a quick detailer spray, but really you should rinse it first

were you just born? it's been raining since the start of time and yes, it will water spot but that's not as bad as the prints the cats and dogs put on it if it rains hard, hold on, the car will not melt so all is not lost

Just wash it when the weather clears up again.

you should run to the store and buy 100 boxes of plastic wrap and then wrap the whole car in it. or you could just relax and wash it later.

All destined to be classics.

In all seriousness, however, I use a chamois cloth but you've got to use the chamois before the the spots dry. I swear by this method and used it on my Silver Pearl Saturn Sky Red Line as well. You won't regret it.

You bought the wrong color if you are obsessed with a car showing spots or dirt... I have had black cars and none would stay clean for long outside and with pollen season coming you will drive yourself crazy then if a few water spots bother you now.
Keep calm and wash your car often.

If water spots really bother you, maybe you should invest in a water de-ionizer. Washing your car with tap water will leave spots as it has minerals in it as well.

How would that help with rain water spots?
