Hi, I just bought the Honda Civic Si Rally Red but there seem to be alot of water spots on the paint. Which product should I use to remove the water spots, but I don't want to use something that too aggressive because it's still new paint. And is there any product that the make my red car look more shiny and look more depth like black car?

Re: please help! I need suggestion on new Red Car.
Will you be working by hand?
I think you would want to look at:
1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Clean - I would want to buy Ult. Compound and ult. Polish. Working by hand, you will probably need the UC. But, you can do a test spot with the UP first to see. Also, be sure to do a test spot with the UC and check your results before doing the whole car. And use smooth foam applicators to apply.
4. Polish - If you do use the UC on the whole car, you can follow up with the Ult. Polish for a bit more shine.
5. Wax - Ult. Wax or Gold Class would be good choices. UW would be more durable, the GC may look a little richer.
6. Wax - 2 thin coats are best.
7. Maintain - Ult. Quick Wax or Gold Class Spray Wax after/ while drying future washes.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR Blue

And the clay is reusable. You would need to buy more QD in the future, but if the clay doesn't pick up much, and is still clean, just put it in a zip lock bag with a QD spray and save it for next time.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR Blue

I still have some of the NEXT GENERATION TECH WAX. Should I use it or should I buy the Ultimate Wax, M26, Carnauba Wax? Have you guys ever try Meg's new product Water Spot Remover yet? I'm planning to use that product instead of using the UC and UP.

Here's a thread on water spot remover.

NXT is still a very good wax, no longer meg's best, but still bloody good. UW will give a slightly different shine (barely noticeable on a perfectly prepped car), a bit crisper and depth, and more durable. You can just stick with NXT then add a coat of M26 for more depth, but it's really a personal choice.

Just wondering, wouldn't this be the first step
1 step AIO https://www.google.com/search?q=meguiars+d151&client=safari&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=fNJtUvbVBeSbygGfroCACg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAA&biw=320&bih=356&dpr=2#biv=i%7C1%3Bd%7Ce11Uo2_KIKVhkM%3A
2 step - polish/wax
3 step - compound/polish/wax?
And of course always inspect the paint to see if it needs to be decontaminated
