24 Tacoma Sport has about 18 square inches where water spots have developed in front of the hood scoop. I have tried Chemical Guys and several other products including buffing. It helps for a short while, but they come back. Is there a remedy to remove them?

We have fairly hard water out here in AZ. I have had success with using a clay bar to remove water spots, but if the clear coat has been chemically etched by something, polishing or the more aggressive compounding is the only way I know of to correct it.

I would research professional car detailing products to remove water spots, there are plenty available. If you’re washing your car (or going to a car wash) hard water (minerals/impurities) causes water spots. you can prevent them with using soft water to wash, PPF and/or ceramic coating.
