these posts help a lot but your best result is going to be practice and develop your own way that works for you, everyone has their own way and with so many flavors of wheels and compounds everyone has the ones they prefer so just because someone here dosent like one dosent mean you wont. 90% of my work is done with spiral sewn wheels and black and white compounds.

haha, your not polishing crazy until you actually contemplate on buying an old Delorean from the 80's to polish the entire bodyThats still on my "Things I wanna do" list.
You can melt down your little chunks of compound and pour them into some kind of mold. Thats what I do, I use a coffe can and throw in all of the same kind of compound and then I heat it up with a portable stove. After everything is liquified I pour it into a wooden mold thats the same dimensions of the 3lb bars.
