As far as claying it, no problem, and as you said, sealants over it work great!

Thanks for the follow up Todd. I will probably just play it safe and only clay the clear bra and not polish it.

Ironically you have a much better chance of screwing up your paint with the Scratch-X product than you would using a random orbit buffer!
Don't confuse the random orbit buffer with a rotary. You can definitely destroy your paint if you don't know what you are doing with a rotary. Random orbit on the other hand: you would really have to try pretty hard to cause any damage!
