Re: removing polishing compound from pits & scratches ???
Rather than dry, try spraying some quick detail spray first and then agitate with a medium bristle brush. Less scouring of the surrounding area and the QD spray does a great job of loosening the dried compound/polish/wax/sealant.

Dawn Dish soap and HOT HOT HOT water. it will disolve the compound. and you can scrub it out easier.
Mineral Spirts works great also.
