If that doesn't work, wet sand.

But you could also try out paint cleaners from other manufacturers too.

I've used the Meguiars Medallion paint cleaner and it works very well. I've used AIO but not for oxidation removal. I have used the meguiars body scrub and it works well, but it's kind of difficult to use (kind of like glue). If you can't find the Medallion (it is being discontinued because of the VOC laws) then I'd probably go with the body scrub. Haven't used the Mother's cleaner.
Wool pads are overkill. Plain and simple I have yet to encounter a car that needed a wool pad. The most agressive I have used is a fairly agressive polish with a yellow cutting pad on a rotary.
That car being the worst. And after half of the hood was done, I noticed that the polish wasn't doing much for it so I had to use paint cleaner anyway. So I started out with paint cleaner and then went to polish for the swirls and scratches.
But even with a wool pad I doubt that crap on the paint would have came off with just polish. Cleaners chemically "clean" oxidation, whereas polishes are abrassive and are meant more for paint correctin (swirls/scratches).
