Default Damn Water Spots

I recently had a water leak, and did A LOT of water tests with my car. But now I have these horrible hard water spots! How do I get rid of them? Soap/water doesnt work, neither does wax.

Clay bar time h:

Find a detailing site and read up on how to clay your car... then go at it! It will take you hours, though, to do your whole car...

its supposed to be vinegar water mix though, so i guess you shouldnt just pour vinegar directly on the paint, its a 3:1 mix with water i think
