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? >.<

This question may seem painfully obvious, but did you wax the car after you used the clay bar? I would think the spots are hard water mineral deposits from water that evaporated before you dried the car. Even if you wash in the shade, if the car is hot, the water will evaporate quickly.
