Not sure what that product is...and it may be good...but there's no way it would be a substitute for a real clay bar.

I've never used the liquid clay bar by Turtle Wax - but logic reasons it can't perform as well as an actual bar.
As you mentioned, the use of an orbital buffer is necessary. If someone is going to use one, they just need to remember that to completely remove the swirls, they have to buff off a very thin layer of the clear coat. The swirls - usually seen in the sunlight - are the light reflecting off v-shaped cuts in the clearcoat itself. So to remove them, you have to smooth the groove, or in other words, remove part of the clear coat.
I'm not saying a novice can't do it. They just need to be aware they are removing part of the clearcoat.
