I think he means water spots.

vinegar
clay bar
polish

do it in that order, if the first doesnt work, move to the next

if claying doesn't work, i'd go to an AIO type cleaner on a fine finishing pad before polish.

I recommend that the best and most effective way to correct these waterspots and the damage they have created is by using a rotary polisher. Use a foam polishing pad polish with a light cleaner/polish, and pass over the waterspots to remove. After the spotting has been removed, then follow up with the PC and a premium polish to remove any halograming or swirl marks from the rotary polisher. And finally using the PC and a finishing pad, apply your wax or sealant, remove product with a MF and your done. The last touch would be a 360 around the vehicle with a QD for any dust or residue removel, and that last inspection......
