I wish to remove….

No that’s not right. You don’t want to buff it first. And wet sanding will remove clear coat.

Use a 40% diluted mixture of rubbing alcohol and a microfiber towel. You can increase to 60% if that don’t work.

Residue will come off with alcohol.

I stand corrected.
Very good. I guess it would depend on how deep it went into the clear? Whether the alcohol would work? I like your method much better.
