Awesome advice... I will use all the above advice and come back and let you know which one was the best for the job at hand.

Soft paper towels, such at those sold by Griots Garage, do not swirl your paint, and neither does windex. Windex is actually the preferred method for removing a lot of nasty sticky things, such as "Love Bugs", in the South that stubbornly adhere to paint surfaces. We use regular paper towels (not Griots) to apply Speed Shine to my father's rather delicate Ferrari's and haven't ever had a problem with paint swirling... so I'm not too sure I would be super paronoid about hurting your car with them, unless you are using those cardboard paper towels they sell for hospitals and airport bathrooms.

Clay bar will be the first to bat, as I plan on waxing today anyways.

Cheers
