they are usually caused by not drying properly and wash your car in the shade so the soap and water doesnt dry quickly might be your problem but who knows because ive even used the crappy wash from walmart and didnt have a problem with water spots and the turtle wax quick wax stuff could help you alot you can even spray it on while wet

Right there man, that is what you need.

That will leave you water spot free no matter what soap you use

California blade on big areas of the car...large microfiber towel to get the rest. also the final rinse should be the hose w/out a nozzle for a solid stream of water. It will sheet off the car and will minimize the droplets a lot.
