Removed the clear coat...what now?

Sorry to start another thread but wading though all the existing ones was taking too long to find an answer. I have removed the clear coat on my 74 AS but the chalky looking blotches remain and I suspect it is oxidization. I intend to polish the AS but how do I get rid of the blotches and any other form of mark that shouldn't be there? I started this task with the idea to remove the blotches but they are still there.

I've tried rubbing compound in a small area with no success. What polish do I use? And would a high speed buffer do any good?

Here's another question. The side panels appear do be different than the rounded panels and flat panels at the front and rear....a different shine. Why? Also the blotches appear on the side panels and not so much on the rounded ones and the flat panels at the read and front.
