nung natanggal na I dabbed the area with an MF cloth, then QD para matanggal yung rest of the oil

I'm sure natanggal yung wax dun sa area na yun, but I'm wondering if this was safe for the paint... don't have clay bar or kerosene to take it off
Yes Step 2 has ultra fine polishes, but these polishes are so fine that you could use this every month for the next 10 years and still have a lot of clear coat left, its that fine, so to answer you question yes it will thin your clear coat but its close to nil, and its purely safe for the paint and actually good too

As for what you did, its actually fairly safe since you didn't use kerosene or clay, chances are the 476 is still there except for the spot the bubblegum covered, so using a QD to remove the oil is good, you just need to apply some 476 again to that small area, wipe off and you're good, what you did is actually very safe for the paint.
