hand polishing.

Any light abrassive hand polishes worth trying. I dont have an oribital buffer and I wanted to try to polish by hand. Are there any compounds worth trying?

Not sure which one he's talking about but if anyone claims there is an abrasive polish that can be worked by hand, I don't believe it. Thus it is likely full of glaze fillers.

Does it get rid of swirl because it has LIGHT ABRASIVES or because it has GLAZE/FILLER?

I alrdy have a glaze so I wouldnt buy another glaze.

When you use it it doesnt add scratches? Because I have used abrasive polishes before (by hand) and you can scratch the paint easily.
