Tree sap?
Bug poop?
Sabotage?
Pollen?

It sounds like you used too much soap, or the water dried on the paint leaving the spots. Try rinsing it off a little better, do what is called "flooding the paint". Take any nozzle off the hose, and allow the water right out of the hose to flow down the bodypanel. This gets more water off the panel instead of letting it droplet up on, and makes it easier to dry. Get a good drying towel, and dry a.s.a.p. This should help prevent soap and water spots.

The soap and perhaps minerals in the water drops that dried before you could wipe them off.
