Clay bar isn't designed to remove water spots, only surface contaminants.

Better take care of that before you have to sand them out...
Sanding c/f sucks.

I've never been able to take off water spots with a clay bar. That's because water spots aren't loose contaminates 'stuck' to the clear. They're hard water stains on the clear and depending on how long they've been there, they bond to the clear and build up and get thicker and taller. That is why wetsanding is sometimes neccessary in their removal.

A clay bar would be useless unless the water spots are only hours old at the most. Of course, you could remove them with a rag at that point.
