Default A3-Water Spots-Driver Side Mirror

I have what looks like water spots on the driver side mirror on my two week old A3. I can't remove them. I can't tell if it is a defect in the mirror that will require replacement or if I need to apply something else get them off. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

Mother's makes a good water-spot removal product for glass.

If it really is a water spot then try this first before trying anything abrasive like rubbing compounds:

Duragloss Water Spot Remover (WSR) #505

For a mirror you may be safe using CLR which is readily-available at any grocery store, but personally I would get Duragloss since I have used it on paint and it worked great with no negative effects.
