Any tips for removing water spots from the hood of a vehicle?

Recently purchased a black vehicle and notice water spots on the hood after washing that seem to be getting worse. I have an unlimited wash package so I run it through at least once a week. You can mainly see them in the shade or if you are looking for them but it is aggravating. I tried spraying with a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar and letting it sit for 10 minutes before washing as recommended on many sites. It seemed to help a bit but not much. Any suggestions?’

A dry towel?

Paint correction, buff and polish.

in a similar situation. I tried everything to no avail. Met with a few body shops last week and all advised that it would need a paint correction so I plan to buy a buffer and give it a good detailing and clay bar before buffing out the marks.

This, plus maybe a claybar first. Then ceramic to keep them away.

Stop running a black vehicle through a car wash… does more harm than good.

Doesn’t acid rain do this to softer paints?
I know it’s bad on Teslas and older Toyotas.

Synthetic clay bar while washing with car wash (not dish soap), then rinse and use microfiber to remove water.

I would avoid a clay bar on a black vehicle. It would leave similar to 2000 grit scratches that you'd need to buff out after.
You could simply use a light rubbing compound by hand. Follow that with a good wax to prevent future spots. Also, dry the car with a chamois every time it gets wet.

A few sites recommended just applying a polish if the vinegar water mixture didn’t work. Thoughts ? Also had people recommend nufinish.

Is it a car or an infant? I guess this is why I’ve never really looked at a vehicle as much more than a means of getting from here to there.

Never heard of this.

No suggestions that you'd probably like. Paint correction will remove them, a good wax/sealant/ceramic will help them stay away. You will however have to start hand washing only, in the shade, on a cool car and not letting water dry on it. You'd be wasting your time and money if you did all that and then continued to run it through a car wash

Slightly off topic, but what’s the best way to get them off glass?
