[s-cars] silver paint - claying question

[Randy Reimer]

Recently I had my car polished and as a result, in some of the deeper stone
chips, there is now a tiny bit of white polish residue.  He could or did not
get it all out.  While the paint now is quite brilliant, there are a number
(100 +) tiny white stone chips.

Will claying remove this bit of residue?
