Strangely enough I have also gone through the same process with SHMBO's Soul. Spurred into action by a small paintwork job on a rear bumper corner. A lot of the paintwork had a slightly rough feel due to paintwork rectification done prior to purchase (second hand) and insufficiant masking off allowing overspray to settle.
I used a clay bar. In the worst areas some fine wet and dry with soap lubricant and then a machine polish. Looks really good. A bit of work involved in using a clay bar but it does lift the contaminants stuck in the paint and you can feel the difference immediately.
