You could try some cleaner wax if the water spots aren't too etched in.

Rubbing compound already? Damn! Did you rub until it broke down?

What compound did you get? Please don't tell me you used Turtle wax? They call that stuff rocks in a jar That stuff can not be broken down.

Get yourself some Meguiars swirlx and rub it in until it breaks down. If that doesn't work get something more aggressive. How long did the water sit on the paint?

Don't use turtle wax, that stuff is crap. Meguiars is pretty damn good. Give that stuff a try, it's also a lot safer to work with. You can really fu*k up your paint with turtle wax. Trust me.
