Rubbing compound is used to clean a area like smallest dust on paint.
do not use them as a wax polish .
2 types of scratches ,
one on the paint , can be removed only by painting again.
Other , the particle sticking on them , like a bike handle bar's rubber on the door , a protruding bolero's tyre mark on the car!!
the last one can be removed by rubbing compound.
After using a rubbing compound dont forget to use wax polish.
BTW scratches must happen , its my business hehe
