Did you use a polisher? I worked it by hand and got nowhere.

I did...a low speed random orbit polisher...but was not very aggressive. Took around 10 minutes to do all areas (except around sideview mirrors which I did by hand).

Thanks, I will try that this weekend. I only have an 11" ROP, may have to pick up a 6".

Isambard is an unknown quantity at this point
There is a thread (or two) in here somewhere already asking the same question, where you will find my same answer also

Farecla G6 rubbing compound. I did it by hand, took about 5-10 mins all round. Worked a treat which was nearly two years ago and STILL looks good today

It'll be down to one's preference over another's as with most things these days there is always more than one way to skin a cat. Good luck whichever method you decide to choose
