Default clay bar windows?

so today i clayed my car and wondered if i could do the windows too. when they're wet you can see these water like marks from when i got the windows tinted about a year ago. there's also a few hard water spots that wont completely come out. you think it'll help?

p.s. she looks purty
p.s.s. the lower half below the door trim was durty!

You can do it, but a fine stainless pad (000 grade) and windex would probably work better

i do the prep with the pad and windex chiba said and throw on a low coght of wax on it to help with dew in the morning and have run off from the rain. no bead up from the rain drops but the pad and windex will take off alot of horrible dirt and crud that just washing couldent get rid of do to the sun beating down on it and acting like a magnifying glass.
