Removing Water Spots on Marble Table Top

I was told to use CLR on water spots on my table (marble). To my surprise it left even more spotting. I was told to use a buffer with rubbing compound. I did that and it cleaned it up a little, but the spots are still there. I'm sick to my stomach about what has happened. Is there anyone that can help me?

Marble floors? Using clean warm water is the best. No harm chemicals. If you must use a real cleaner, use the mildest as possible.
