I dunno, but i use meguires soap when i wash mine. It does a good job cleaning it. You could also shammy the truck off when your done. I ususally get water spots on my windows no matter what. I usually just use windex or something to get them off.
Hope this helps
later

1 part vinegar to 10 parts water in a spray bottle and a 100% cotton towel :D

I used swirl remover and lightly buffed them out of my paint.
For the windows, first clean them with a window cleaner.
Then buff them with a fine wool pad
then clean them again.
SPOTLESS!!

I have the same problem with my truck. I have only successfully removed them on the windows. To remove the water spots from my windows I use rainx window polish as a lubricant & 0000 steel wool as the abrasive to polish the windows. After polishing I clean the windows with windex & apply rainx. Spots a-gone. As for the spots on the paint, I have not found anything as of yet to get rid of them. I have tried 3m swirl remover, maguirs polish, pure white vinegar with no success. The next thing I was going to try is Zaino but just haven't came off the $ to get it.

You should probably purchase a professional swirl remover.
I forgot what grade grit mine is, but you can get a good size bottle at most paint shops, just start off slow with little pressure and youll be spotless.

how are you guys having probs with water spots. i wash my truck like once a month and wax it maybe twice a year and never have any probs with waterspots unless it rains.

z-71rocks, I couldn't tell you how I am getting water spots & if I could, I wouldn't have them any more. Every car & truck I have ever owned has had them. I suspect it is from minerals in my well water but the spots appear to be etched into paint just like acid rain. I have always was my vehicles with car wash soap (like maguirs) & always dry my vehicles off with white towels.

Word that works for me especially on windows, just make sure you clean the surface good.

well i know when i first bought my truck i was getting water spots so i went and put about 4 coats of finish 2000 from turtle wax and then the next week washed it again and put a coat of turtle wax super hard shell and ever since i did this in august no more waterspots.
:edit:
if you look at the pics in my sig you can see i have no waterspots at all on the paint. this is from drying with one bath towel too!
