baked-on water spots

	If HD Cleanse, Meguiar's No. 2 or Dual Action Cleaner Polish, etc.
won't take out these "water spots," perhaps they *aren't* water spots.
	Drops of water on the paint act like convex lenses.  If, as was
stated, the car was left in intense light with the water drops on it,
there may well be damage to the color coat underneath the clear coat.  The
color coat is much softer than the clear coat, and with Southwest sunshine
focussed on it, well . . .  This could happen without the clear
coat looking or feeling damaged.  Butressing this theory is the
widely-held view that water-borne paints are not yet up to snuff.
	This is why cars should not be washed in direct sunlight.
	Please let us know what the final diagnosis is, when discovered.
