    you don't want to do that actually

    swirl x has abrasives and you want to iron X, tar X and clay before using anything with abrasives (especially by machine) or you risk grinding additional "abrasive matter" against your paint...

    Exactly,

    If you want to remove your sealant before the additional prep work use OPC 3:1, TAW, or some other product. As always use them responsibly

    Looks like I'll have to order some OPC or TAW before my next detail. Thanks everybody for the advice.

    Just another vote for you are fine.

    The IPA, unless it was diluted down to nothing, should have prepared the surface properly.
