I suppose if oil and crud had actually soaked into the clear coat then abrading it a bit is all you can really do. For next time though, you can get scrubbing pads (finishing pads) in various grades in a decent decorators supplies shop. The finest ones are good for buffing out minor clear coat grazes.

I had a very stained, damaged paint job. Lots of oil and crud that wouldn't move with just a sponge, even when using isopropanol. After about 2 hours of trying gentle methods I'd had enough so I just blasted it quickly with the scourer and soapy water. Lesson learned.
I'm not sure if I've completely removed the lacquer or just damaged it. Since no paint came off it's likely I've just damaged it I guess, so I'll have a go very gently polishing it up as Lukas suggested, and if that doesn't work I guess I'll redo the clearcoat. Not sure the best way to go about that so I may be back to ask later...
Thanks for all the help
