Message	light rubbing compound designed for machine use. I used some turtle wax-rubbing compound for minor spot treatment (very harsh stuff, use only by hand), then 3m finesse it rubbing (very light rubbing for use by machine), then 3m polishing compound. I don't think there's a huge difference between expensive and cheap rubbing/polishing compounds, wax is another matter. .....................................
