The rewards of reflections by your own hands are priceless
Just remember that polishing is really two projects 1st sanding, 2nd buffing
generally, sanding is 75% of the job. Like a car in the paint booth, all the real work was done before it gets sprayed and if body work is wavy the paint will high lite the flaws.
Your compound is fine, it has a melting point that is quickly reached from frictional heat. If you can handle the drill with one hand, you can dab the compound wile you are working. The compound will load up on the wheel and part this way and is only helpful in the cutting portion of the process (the first set of buff, dab's) The 2nd set is called coloring (the final buff)
