Hi Daviedan,
Prevention is the best medicine. First, have a good coating off wax on the boat and renew it often. Second, if you boat in mineral-laden water or the hose water you wash down with is mineral-laden, make sure to use a chamois and wipe the boat dry; there are also filters which can be attached to your hose bib to filter out the minerals.
To remove water spots, there are a variety of commercial products --basically light compounds, often sold as scratch removers. However, I have found that a 50-50 mixture of white vinegar and water does the trick on waterspots that havent baked on for more than a day. Spray the solution on, let it sit for a minute, and wipe off. Then rinse well with fresh water ( using a filter on the hose if needed as stated above). Then chamois the boat dry.
Ask some boaters, and they'll tell you waterspots are a good argument for white colored
boats :)

Meguires makes a good water and spot remover that I have used and it works really well also try the waxes with teflon in them,I had a boat on a trailer and waxed the sides of it and could not get to two spots because on my guideons on the trailer,I put the boat into the water and after a week I noticed these two brown spots on the sides then I remembered thats where I could not get the wax so that stuff really works, and Kevins right white hulls do not show everything on the sides,my buddys black sided 36 Cruisers is a pain in the butt SHOWS EVERYTHING scratches,scrapes waterspots you name it, have fun :-)

We were out on the Sandbar in Longboat Key Pass in our Flats Cat by Catamaran Coaches. The Storm clouds were rolling in and it was a bit chilly but Bently lives to be on the boat and water!
