I'm not sure to be honest. Any way I can get rid of it or am I screwed?

Honestly you should know first the cause of the situation .. Can you feel it with your finger on the surface ? Is it on the surface or through the clear coat ? How can I help you ? If you don't tell the details ?

Those look like water spots that have baked on and etched the clearcoat. As always, the process will be to start with mild remedies and work your way up to more aggressive ones.
I'd try chemicals like dish soap or white vinegar, then move up to clay bar, then go to a lightly abrasive scratch remover product, then try machine buffing with increasingly abrasive compounds. If you are nervous or inexperienced, take it to a professional.

Thanks!
I actually just ordered the CarPro water spot remover chemical. It's the same guys that make Iron-X, a true miracle product for lighter colored paint. I'll post in this thread once I try it out on Saturday -- the Admiral Blue paint on the Vette shows everything!

Yes, it works fine for mild water spots (e.g. after you washed the car or whatever). If the car got rained on, and then it sat in the sun for a while, you may need multiple applications or to go with something slightly abrasive.
