Do NOT use 3M rubbing compound by hand; you will get hazing that'll be a nightmare to remove without a machine. It is moderately aggressive. I've used it once in combination with a wool pad using a PC to get rid of heavy swirling. It produces fantastic results, but it does need to be followed up with a lighter swirl remover, like 3M swirl mark remover.
