Thank you for the great response. How does hd fast compare to bf with swirl marks?

what I don't understand is how I got water spots on my paint. I had used BF all in one and wash weekly. All I can think of is water got on it and the sun baked it in.
Tim I don’t use HD Speed so I can’t say. I predominately use BF One Step, MCKees 360 and Griot’s Finishing Sealant as my AIO’s. I would say BF has the most cut of the three. 360 is hard to beat for durability as I have seen it last 9 months on a friend’s car that is absolutely neglected. Next time I do his car I will use BF One Step because his car is an excellent ‘test bed’ for durability. It is washed ONCE a year ... when it comes to my place. Griot’s Finishing Sealant has the least cut of the three but is an absolute pleasure to work with. Endless working time, smells great and leaves a brilliant shine. It also has the least durability of the three, but I slouch in this department either. You can’t go wrong with any of these 3 IMHO.

black car. I think they are water spots. they weren't there last week and I noticed them after I washed my car this week. I read that Chemical Guys VSS Swirl and Scratch Remover is good for removing water spots, is that true?
can water spots be removed by hand or does it need to be done with a buffer?
Tim depends how long they have been there. Fresh water spots can be removed by hand - McKees has a product called Water Spot Remover. I use it and it works and from the smell of it - it contains vinegar and no abrasives - which as someone rightly said above should be your first method. If that doesn’t work, yes you can try a product with mild abrasives like an AIO. Although not their primary intended application, I have removed spots using a fine glaze and jeweling wax.
As with removal of any defects - start mild and get more aggressive as necessary

Finally got it out with machine buffing. I have owned and waxed cars for over 20 years and never had water spots stain my cars. I have used liquid glass to Meguiars. I am starting to think that Blackfire just doesn't provide the protection.
