I would think that by dragging those contaminents back and forth on the paint, that it would scratch the hell out of it!
If you guys swear by clay bars, then I will try it, with slight hesitation.
Keep the paint surface wet with the provided detailer in the area you are sliding the clay bar over and you should be fine. Also, every so often replace the piece of clay if you notice it is picking up a lot of contaminants. I state this because I never use the whole bar from the kit all at one time. I do this every year to my everyday car that is black and it works well.
