Then wipe the car down with a 50/50 mix of iso-propyl alcohol and water. This will minimize the mechanical work you need to do.

After that, you'll need to attack it mechanically, as you've tried. But be aware that you're removing a solid. So what happens is it will load up onto the polishing pad that you're using. Then you're just grinding it into the paint, which can introduce more imperfections. The key here is controlling the contamination on the pad to avoid that. Use some compressed air to blow the dust off the pad often.

What kind of polisher, pad, and product have you been using to try and remove this?
I haven't tried mechanical removal. Just Claybar and various cleaners. I don't have the equipment or knowledge/skill for that I am afraid. I have talked to a local detail guy who seems to know what he is doing and will take it all off for $350. Still deciding if thats what I want to do.
