Water Spot Dilemma

One of my relatives recently moved to Palm Springs and her car is getting hammered by hard water spots by sprinklers. Everywhere she goes in town to park, including home, has sprinklers that spew hard water. To make matters worse, the spots get baked in the sun ( 100 degrees in Palm Springs) I was able to get the majority of the spots out with a clay bar and a vinegar bath, but some etching still remains.

My question is will the etching continue to get worse if I do not buff it out? I am sure the car will continue to get soaked and bake new spots in the sun. I do not want to waste my time or the clear coat of the car buffing it every weekend. The car is a lease and I was planning on showing my relative how to clay and vinegar wash her car and I will eventually buff the entire car when the lease is up. What do you think?


Thanks

Ham
