Try a simple polish first, them wax. If not, then consider paint correction as that is much more aggressive on the paint.

Some links from another post.

Here is a brief tutorial from the Meguires site:

Another similar includes using white vinegar and water bath:

Meguiars water spot remover always works well for me. I have the same problem with the hard water where I live.

I would start with P21S Gloss Enhancing Paintwork Cleanser. It is mild and will not harm the paint. Then move to something more aggressive if you need to. A good coat of wax on the car will help the water roll off the car and prevent most water spots. The ones I have found simply wash away.
