I bought my car from a guy who really didnt use it anymore, it just sat in the street, and every night the sprinklers would get all over it, the next day the sun would beat down on it, and this would repeat every day. So now there are waterspots that are like, ingrained into my paint... Wax got some off, but there are still some, and they are on the windows...

I heard vinegar will take them off, is this true? Would it hurt the paint, and would it work on windows?

White distilled vinegar is supposed to work well.

Water spots can be really hard or really easy. Vinegar will work if they are not too bad. Also bug and tar cleaner will do the job for the mildly stubborn ones but you will lose any wax you have applied. For the truly stubborn, start stretching, because your arms are going to get tired Get a gentle paint cleaner and a polish ( not cleaner/wax ) Try meguiars body scrub or deep crystal cleaner to clean it first, then if you want it to look really good, go over it with a clay bar, then use a good polish to get it nice and glossy, then wax it to protect all your hard work. As far as using a buffer goes, if you have a lot of experience with it, go for it. However, if you do not, I suggest removing the spots by hand as there is less risk of damaging your paint. Good luck!
