Re: soft paint
You can clay it. Start with your least aggressive product combo first and see where that gets you. DA or rotary? I would start off with a light cutting polish with a white or maybe even a green pad pad. What products do you have? It also depends on the condition of the paint.

There is no problem claying the paint. You might need the orange pad to take the swirls out but will have to work a white pad for a little while to get them out and then move on to the blue finish pad with your finishing pad for a couple times also to get rid of any marring or what little swirls you have left over.

Re: soft paint
What Menzerna polishes do you have? PC is ok to use. You don't have to be scared just because the paint is soft, be happy you're not dealing with an Audi or Vette clear coat.

Actually softer paints are more of a pain to deal with than ones with harder paint.

Re: soft paint
Looks like you have the Menzerna so go with the white and sip and then move from there.
