I had the Stinger parked outside for a month and now there are hard water spots on the car. Washed it twice already and I'm still not able to get rid of it.

Hard to say what will work, as the harness of the water plays an important role. Nonetheless there are a few liquids you can try before doing polishing.

If you decide to go with the wheel acid route be very careful, I would wash the car again after application, to make sure any left over acid mixture is completely gone, and apply a coat of protection.

Good luck! Mine came from the dealer with water spots. I clayed it and was able to remove them. Then polished and coated so they don’t come back hopefully.

My last two cars were black, ( a 2011 Optima lx and a 2015 Optima SXL). My 2021 Stinger is snow white pearl, which makes the water spots harder to see. Kind of a double edged sword.
