I think I would try an AIO with a white pad after the clay after a test spot... let it sit for 24 hours and put your favorite LSP on it... a good LSP will let those spots either hose off very easily or at the very least wash off with very little effort.

sorry an aio (all in one) Klasse makes one... a cleaner wax is pretty much the same thing but Klasse is a sealant now a wax so it tends to last a bit longer, but a wax sometimes gives the paint a deeper look.

You may need a machine polisher, it's nice to have one anyway.. you can get a pretty inexpensive one from Griots garage.. you would only need a fine cut pad and polish to get the paint back into shape. I would go buy some cleaner wax from your local auto parts store first and see if going over it a few times by hand with a foam applicator does any good.
