LONG STORY GOES...
i tried mothers cleaner wax.... nothing
zymol wax (great stuff)... NOTHING
and even tried a lik 3m rubbing compound on one water drop.. and Nothing!!

the water spots seem to me like they are beneath the clearcoat?? or in the paint... they are MORE than obvious.. i should get a pic on here..

does anyone have any advice on how to take care of this?????
Very doubtful they are under the clear coat, but I guess not impossible. Try a polishing compound (wax is not polish). I like Malm's Polish and Glaze (http://shop.malms.com/Qstore/Qstore....J01070637111J1) by hand or Griot's Machine Polish 3 (http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/11163.do) with orbital.
