I would suggest a mild polishing compound applied by hand with a damp sponge or cloth. You can also use a buffing wheel but have to be careful that you don't over-do it and polish right through the paint. The polishing compounds have abrasives in them and there are harder and softer kinds. Start with the softer kind and experiment, going to more abrasive versions only if necessary. I find that even the mildest will take off an amazing amount of stuff. For hard water stains you might also try something like Limeaway. Again, experiment in a small area first.
I found the best thing to clean water spots off of glass was a polishing compound made for cleaning the glass-ceramic windows in wood stoves. It is called "White Off" and is made by Rutland in Rutland, VT and sold by wood stove stores. It saved my outside rear-view mirrors.
