Use the chamois leather real carefully. If you notice streaks the dampen the leather slightly and leather off each panel seperately until you get the desired result.
I live in an area with hard water and rarely have problems. It helps if you have direct sunlight, but if it is too hot you need to do the procedure above quite a few times as the water dries too quickly.
p.s. I would never take a nice new car through a car wash. Stick to washing by hand if you can.

Always and I mean always leather off in the shade, NOT direct sunlight.

Washing a car by hand is the WORST thing you can do. The auto car wash is far better at removing the small grit particles that are just waiting for your sponge to come along and be scrapped all over your nice new paint work.
Take it through the carwash THEN use the chammy to dry it off.

I think you have a point about hand washing if you use a sponge, and not enough water. When you see people scrubbing away on a dirty car with a barely damp sponge it must be like fine wet and dry. Personally I use a 'Flexibrush' in a bucket of car shampoo, as this doesn't hold the grit like a sponge.
As for car washes - I'd never use one - seen too many cars covered in fine scratches due to these machines.

Washing in or just after rain is a good method. You can always tell the car-washed cars by the scratches, especially on metallic finishes.
