Default Spots wont come of with car soap and water...

Is there anything that will remove these spots... I am guess they are water spots or left over bug guts. I am not sure witch. If it matters I have a Black S2000. Any help would be great. Thanks

try vinegar... after washing the car.
if that doesnt work, post back here and we will give you another step to try.
you should always get water spots off the car immediately as they can etch the clear coat.

Could be slight oxidation or acid rain in the paint. Pick up some oxidation remover and have a go at it, it will usually do the trick.
