Same with using silicone based polishes --- really a pain to remove and paint over. It causes nasty "fish eyes" in the paint. Mot sure that Bar keeper's Friend or Bon Ami are safe for car paint. I would have gone with rubbing compound or polishing compound - probably starting with the polishing and then if that was not abrasive enought trying the rubbing compound on the flat areas.

If the polishes are not enough, you should try the "Micro-polishing Compound". It's what I use to buff out my paint jobs after sanding them with 1,000 or 1,200 grit paper. ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
