Note: Those spot's aren't permanent, But i do have some spots on the trunk and hood that need to be taken care of.

Claybar will typically remove them, but sometimes it will take a polish.

I've done the claybar routine, I'm going to try it again when this weather clears up, I've done polish on my car before, but scared of rubbing it circular to cause a swirl, How should i properly apply polish? What polish do you recommened also?

I've used this before but not when i encountered my water spots -

You'd need to use a polish such as Menzerna with a Porter Cable Random Orbital Buffer... Liquid Glass isn't a polish. A polish has abrasives to help remove imperfections in the clear coat or imperfections from weather elements. I know they say it is, but it's more of a Glaze.

I bet he just polished them away with menzerna products

when you get the water spots, you should immediately wipe down with some quick detailer like how you treats bird poo.

I have bunch of water spots on my BO... I just polished my car today and looks fantastic!!

You could try Chemical Guys Water Spot remover or you could just invest in a CR Spotless system to avoid the water spot issue when washing entirely.

George at Detailed Image would be able to help you with both i'm sure.
