1 - Stop using car washes - you're driving a premium vehicle - WASH IT with good soap.

2 - A good coat of cleaner wax should kill the waterspots you have. Getting more will depend on how you maintain the car.

^ Win.

Google how to use it and you're set.

It works, too, and is used by many professional detailers, especially those who have to detail cars in the winter.
