Never put anything in the cup holder? The only way to prevent water spots is to prevent water. The only way I can think to do that AND have drinks in the car is to use a paper towel on the bottom of the cup, which IMO looks worse than a few water spots. Surely there is a cleaning product along the lines of armor-all that will make them disappear when you detail the car but I don't know what that product is

because I don't care about water spots in my cup holders.

You can pull the rubber base out of the cupholder, just find an edge or jam a lever in there to get started. I give mine a good wash out of the car and then reinstall.
Every car I've ever been in that has had cupholders, has had some form of rubber insert.

Hard to avoid water spots if you actually use your cupholders.
But most detail sprays or white vinegar (in a spray bottle) with get rid of water spots.
