Help! How do I get off these really bad water spots off?
Start by washing the car to see where you’re really at.
Wheel Brightener @4:1 is safe for the paint just as it’s safe for your wheels. If you do use it, spray, dwell for 30secs. per the label, and wash the surface with a soapy mitt followed by a good rinse.
Meguiars Hot Wheels Chrome & Wire Cleaner is the consumer version of Wheel Brightener.
You could also try using Meguiars Ultimate Compound if you don’t want to try the Wheel Brightener.
If it were me I’d try the Wheel Brightener and if no luck try the compound next.
Start with a test spot.

Ya for sure a wash to start like Eldorado2k said... never know a good amount might wash right off.
Could also check a spot with WD-40 as well....good luck

That is a serious cringe on BMW paint. Especially if reoccuring

That's what I am going to do. Wheel Brightener first, and then if that doesn't work, going with some cutting compound and foam pad (or MF if it's really bad).

I know, right??
It hurts to see for sure. He loves that car.
Will keep you all posted on this. Won't happen this weekend is my guess, but sometime in the near future.

Have the Association deal with it or it will happen again.
Anytime you use elbow grease on one spot is never a good idea.

Water spots can get so bad they might need to be wet sanded to get them all removed
They etch the paint / clear

The first thing to do is wash your car and dry it completely. And next use white vinegar. After washing the car with water, mineral deposits may still be present. A simple solution of equal parts white vinegar and distilled water gently wiping over the spots will remove them. Vinegar works well for hard water spots because it can remove magnesium and calcium.
