Nothing wrong with starting there, especially since coming back to it later in the process would be good as well. Basically, start with the lightest / softest sort of thing and work your way up. Clay bar, 0000 steel wool with light pressure (I do this all the time, on all of my vehicles), light and short scrape with the edge of a razor blade, etc. I've even used my random orbital polisher with a polishing or even cutting compound to clean my wife's windshield (extreme amounts of residue and water spotting sometimes).

When you use stronger "devices", you just reduce the amount of pressure you apply when using it so you don't do damage.
