Absolutely. Every time you touch your car with anything, you cause micro-scratches. You can minimize them by using good quality wax with a good quality microfiber applicator, but you'll still get them.
Clay bar? If you've washed it first with a standard two-bucket wash and used a good quality wash mitt, you'll likely have only some micro-marring from the clay bar process.
If you're concerned about holograms, micro-scratching, or swirls in your clear coat, you need a Porter-Cable polisher.
