Quick Rubbing Compound Q..

Sorry if this is a repeat I tried doing a search but couldn't find a specific answer.

I picked up some Turtle Wax rubbing compound (brown, abrasive) cause my paint is in need of a little pick me up. I got some of the polish (white) to use afterwards. So if I use rubbing coumpound by hand can I get the scratches from that out with polishing compound by hand? Or do I need to buy a polishing wheel for this or both steps? In case your wondering I plan on 1- wash with dishsoap (remove wax) 2- clay bar 3- rubbing comp 4- polishing comp 5- sealer/glaze 6- wax.

Turtle Wax sucks, specially if you are using it by hand. If you want a great rubbing compound, try 3M Rubbing compound. It is recomended that you use a buffer though with any compound. Check this out for paint Care!
