Removing water spots

Check this out. Took my car into the dealer to get a water leak fixed. Picked my car up when it was almost dark and noticed water on my windshield. Got home in the garage and noticed I had water spots over most of the car. How can I remove these without spending 12 hours working on the car? I have Adams products. Any help is appreciated.

I'd try using a clay bar first. It would be the safest and quickest way.

They won't wash off? If no, then go with the above

Exactly what these guys suggested... essentially you'll start at the least aggressive method and work your way up until something fixes it.

Start with a good wash.

If that doesn't work clay it.

If they're still there then you need to polish them out.
