Carpro iron x is a good choice. Smells horrible but gets the job done.

Acid-wash products can dissolve fresh deposits that have not etched the paint. If etching has already occurred, paint correction will be necessary.

Anything is possible with enough time and effort. But it may just make more sense to locate a qualified paint correction expert. Water spots can be tricky to permanently remove.
