Question on Cleaning/Washing/Waxing

Ok I've had my malibu for about 2 years now. I've typically washed it once a week or two weeks except during the winter months. I have waxed it twice and just general detailing but after washing it a couple months ago I felt along the hood and it was really rough feeling so I thought i would clay bar and wax it again.. Well we finally get a nice day to do so and I wash and detail then clay bar it.. It feels so smooth now but it looks like there is dried up embedded water spots in the paint on the hood.. >.< I always hand dry the car when I get done washing and the clay bar did smooth the surface but it couldnt get the water marks out..

Is there anything out there that might work for this? >.<

Yeah I waxed after I did the clay bar treatment.. It made a huge difference but these water spots are etched.. I always dry my car after I wash it but this could have been caused by rain that sat on the car I guess.. The back end is new paint because of the wreck but the roof and sides don't have this its just the front end
