Water spots form on the surface of your car after it gets wet and doesn't dry immediately, leaving a residue that looks like spots. You can use acid, but first wash the car with soap and a soft cloth to remove all surface dirt.

Without letting it dry, while keeping the surface cool, you can then apply the acid with the cloth over the entire wet area, back and forth, until you cover the entire surface of the bodywork. You can use this same procedure for the car windows as well.
