I had a major problem with stubborn water spots. The best way to deal with them is to not let them happen. This means doing what you have to in order to avoid sprinklers, and when you wash or rinse the car, use a filter on the hose and immediately blow the car fully dry. The spots will be history.
Wiping them off each time takes forever, creates more spiderwebs or holograms, and just makes you blame the black car for all the work. Honestly, I don't spend any more effort (out of necessity, anyway) on the black car than on another non-black car subjected to the same elements. The trick is to stop washing and hand-waxing so much, essentially. Since my post above, that is since my first full DA correction (see Meguiar's), I've STILL only washed the car outright about 4 or 5 times (Feb-July), and how I keep it clean and waxed is by using using Meguiar's Gold Class Quik Detailer & Quik Wax. It still looks like this:
