I'd try the claybar first. You'll have to really work at it though.

Do you have pictures? knowing the type of paint is the key to getting it removed properly. You could also try 3m rubber wheel adhesive remover tool. I really doubt clay bars would do the trick.

It depends on how far into the paint it is. I'm not sure about Suzuka, but I know Berlina is ridiculously soft paint. Even with a shitty cheap Craftsman buffer I was able to remove a lot of surface scratches and tar and tree sap and various other paint imperfections that claybar couldnt get out.

Rubber adhesive wheel does not damage paint. i recommend dual actions over circular buffers. doable but not recommended to a novice.

ive only ever buffed with a circular and it used to be part of my job. dual action buffers are just weird top me at this point.

i can take a dual action and make a car glass. my boss wouldnt let me deliver a car with swirls in it so i got real good real quick

and those eraser wheels can burn the clear coat very easily. assuming of course you are using air, which i would you are cause fuck using one of those by hand

Yeah, proper use is needed when using a rubber wheel.

This one is actually a random orbital. I was wary for a long time about damaging the paint, but it takes out a significant amount of haze and leaves the paint looking fantastic when I pair it with Meguires gold class.
