I don't have the expertise in paint repair like you do, so I go the slow route to try and avoid anything weird from happening. I tend to have the luck of "if something is gonna go wrong, its gonna happen to me".

Too bad you can't stick a clay bar onto a porter cable....
I have never scratched my soft paint and new paint on my 370Z with a clay bar and detail spray. But the next step is to use your PC or hand buff to remove swirls and the like. Anything you could have possibly done with a clay bar and lube will be removed then anyway. Does that help?
