Yes, yes, yes! 
This has plagued mine from the beginning. It spots the paint and glass and on both surfaces has been difficult to remove at times.
I usually take my trusty Stoner Invisible Glass and a microfiber cloth and just scrub away on the glass. The spots come off with some effort. This weekend I tried a simple vinegar and water solution in a spray bottle - knocked them off right away with minimal effort.
As far as the paint goes, if it doesn't come off with washing, I usually have to use detail spray and a microfiber cloth. Or clay bar after washing and follow up with wax. Now that I have several coats of wax on there, the spots seem to come off easily when washing, leaving glass the biggest problem.
I blamed the washer fluid from the factory at first... But once that was depleted, I continued to see the spotting with the fluid I've used for quite some time and never have these problems with my other vehicle. It's the Meijer brand bug/rain repellent type stuff (orange in color, similar to that RainX brand washer fluid.) If anyone is using a particular brand of washer fluid that doesn't leave so much junk behind, I'd love to hear your suggestions.

I had this the very first time I used my WWF(windshield washer fluid) maybe the second time too.
After that, its all good.
Maybe the factory stuff, or its just been sitting for a while?
