And yes, Dan is back in action!
Friendly warning from your neighborhood paint fetishist - you should always plan to polish after using a clay bar on a non new car, the process itself can add a lot of light swirling so it's usually done as a first step for a full correction.
And when it comes to polishing, rotaries can get you in trouble but DAs are pretty close to idiot proof if you watch some videos on technique, practice patience and don't use a compound/pad that is too rough for your paint (some brands have way 'softer' paint, like subarus are painted in watercolors but VAG products have pretty close an enamel finish)
