You just said the exact same thing I did. When you polish a car that has a clearcoat (and clearcoat IS paint), you can't see it on your rag because, uh, it's clear. That doesn't mean you're not removing paint, because you are, you're just removing clear paint. Single-stage paints don't have any clear on top of the color coat so when you polish those you can actually see the paint that's coming off.
