Water spots

I washed my 2008 Ford F-150 by hand the other day. I noticed that the truck has what appears to be water spots baked into the black finish. The gray is ok. The water spots are also on the glass. I used a car wash for the prior washes. It was the same car wash I always used with the last black truck. The truck is only three months old and never sits outside. Even at work it is in a garage. Any ideas to clean up the black finish would be greatly appreciated, or is it a job better done by a body shop. Thanks in advance!!

Try claying it as a first step and see how that turns out (before you use additional product). My truck is fine, but my car had bad water spots on the glass and paint. I clayed then followed up with two coats of NXT 12 hrs apart. The water spots were gone, and I believe the NXT will probably provide you with some protection in the future

clay bar is the key. Will make your windshield as clean as it was at the dealer.

And the Lord God Sayeth: "Thou shalt readeth the sticky at the toppeth of thine screen" and then it was, the non-believer read the sticky and had seen the Word. And then all was good.
