Usually not drying completely or driving thru a lawn sprinkler. Try using Rain-X. It'll make it easier to keep clean.

Sprinkler water is the reason it happens to me sometimes. I have to remember to move my truck before I go to bed so the sprinklers don't get it... What a PITA. The water spots are hard mineral deposits kinda like what happens to your shower door, if have one. Anyway Limeaway, CLR and other hard water spot removers work well. Just make sure you don't get it on the plastic or paint.
