I followed up the rubbing compound with wet sanding, 500 grit{light pressure},rinsed, then a couple of coats of petro-jelly, allowed to bake in the summer sun..I use Mequires liquid glass{although in these photos I hadn't waxed it yet}
before & after shots... you can see more in my Imperial thread link below if interested{page #3}

You might want to take a look at Frisco's thread, he just buffed his out. I also recently used a 3M compound that is slightly less aggressive. It actually breaks down as you use it, becoming finer. It eliminates needing to use swirl mark remover....wish I could remember the name...I have it out in the shop right now.
