The best drying towel I have used is the Twistress or Twist'N'Shout from www.theragcompany.com. Nothing beats that towel. As for microfiber in general, microfibers will typically pick up water a lot better if they are slightly damp first. You can then follow up with a completely dry towel to pick up any remaining water. This Drying Combo from the Rag company has everything you'd need plus a few handy extras. Or this 3x Twistress bundle would also work very well.
Forced air is even better though. Most machines are expensive, but the Adams Sidekick is very well priced and works very well. I have one. Its not as powerful as the bigger options, but on a car with a good water beading product applied, its plenty!
As for the clay were you using the Mild or Aggressive Meguiar's clay? If you were using the Mild, then its possible that you have found something requiring the Aggressive. But I have never needed to use the aggressive. The other thing you could try is a Iron/Fallout remover such as Iron-X which will dissolve the Iron particles leaving your paint smooth if Iron contamination is indeed the problem.
As for the carpet. Do you have a pressure washer. If yes, remove carpets from car and saturate with carpet cleaner or APC. I used Meguiar's D101 at a 4:1 dilution for very dirty carpets. Lets sit for a few minutes. Then agitate with a reasonably stiff brush. The Pressure wash thoroughly. Extract the water with a Wet/Dry vacuum or blot with a towel then let air dry.
Maybe with an aggresive claybar?

Do you feel constant, mild resistance when you run a lubed clay bar over the spot? Or does it feel just as smooth as the clean panels? More than likely it's some type of rail or brake dust embedded in the paint that has rusted, then leached itself into the paint. Depending how long it sat there, it would determine how much of the fragments got into the damaged paint.
If you still feel some resistance, you can try http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-C-2100-Professional-Detailing-Aggressive/dp/B0009IQYEO. This has worked well for me, but it does cause some light marring, so following up with a polisher is needed.
If you don't feel resistance and are certain this is the problem, a more aggressive polish/pad may be required. However, because it's so minor and depending how deep the damage goes, it may not be worth removing the extra layers of clear to get to the root of the damage. I agree to see if iron remover product would work first.
