I don't see why It would damage the paint, and the scratch shield doesn't make the swirls disappear, it makes them less noticeable.
Detailing
As regards to detailing the car I always use "Autoglym" super resin polish and then I will wax the car with a Grade One carnauba wax about 1 hour after polishing it. I use Swissvax, this is the worlds best and very very expensive. There is absolutely no reason as not to treat this self-healing paint just as you would any other painted vehicle, using a scratch and swirl remover such as "Turtle wax" Scratch and Swirl remover for example will NOT hurt or damange the infiniti paintwork. Black painted cars are a nightmare to keep clean and swirl mark free but the 2009 second generation FX range in my opinion in BLACK is definetely the BEST colour, the SUV appears more meaner and lower than another colour and WHITE is a definete no no on this model as is silver!
From my own personal experience I feel its also best to use a good Micro Polish Cloth which I do to remove the polish and wax, not the same cloth though, thus leaving a brilliant smear free ultra wet shine look, in fact better than new. I take detailing my new FX35 very very seriously and for me Sunday is my car cleaning day!!
Even my 21" Enkei wheels also get polished and waxed and the tyres are given a special tyre wax, spray or wipe on to give the tyres a wet look that lasts around 5 days due to the sunlight. As I live in the countryside here in Taiwan & amongst the rice fields etc etc etc it gets very dusty so my car doesn't stay clean that long I am sad to say. I use this as an excuse to clean it all the time and my wife says that I love my car more than her!!
Post a couple on photos shortly.

BTW, does anyone know the silver paint colour code that Enkei used on those 21" 6 spoke alloys?
