Many Zymol products contain clearers and or abrasives (depending on which Zymol product you use) they may remove water spots, if not you can try white vinegar on a cotton towel, you can clay bar them off as well, if the water marks are etched into the paint you will want to use a product like 3M Scratch and Swirl Remover.

Carbon has no abrasives or cleaners.
