For those who have never used clay, it's an extremely fine polishing compound. Something on the order of 8000 grit wet or dry sandpaper. Since it comes in a brick of semi-wet clay it conforms to all surfaces and contours while in use.
The soapy water solution lubricates it even further so it glides over the surface and removes microscopic "high spots" or imperfections resulting in a mirror like surface finish. Clay can indeed remove paint, however because of it's ultra fine grit it would take more time and arm muscle than an ordinary human has, FWIW. It takes time and effort that can only be gotten from a hand finish effort, and if you are anal-retentive enough to persevere worth the effort.
