Something like Adam's Swirl and Haze Remover on the Flex 3401VRG Polisher or Porter Cable 7424 should kill whatever spots aren't into your clear coat. If they are a little deeper, you would need to use something like Adam's 4" Focus Kit. It's a polishing kit that you use on a Cordless Drill. From there, it would be key to come back over it with a Dual Action Machine, to remove the tiny buffer trails the Drill left.
The pic below is something I hit at a show over the summer. I spent all of about 10 minutes on the good side of the hood. Clay, Swirl and Haze Remover, and Fine Machine Polish.

Your water spots don't look etched into the paint to be honest... If you DO have them etched, buy yourself a dual action buffer, and use some of whatever Adam's recommends, or use something like Meguiar's ultimate compound, which is what I used... I feel comfortable with the setup because since it's not aggressive, it makes it harder to really ruin the clear coat... Yeah, it might take longer than getting something more aggressive, BUT its still 100 times easier than doing it straight by hand!
