Wouldn't a rubbing compound be able to "remove" some of the clear coat down past the bird poop etching in the same way you use it for a scratch?

I haven't used any compound's to date.  So far my detailing involves a thorough wash with meguiars NXT soap, clay bar as needed, and wax.  I've been using "The Worlds Best Wax" heh, it's a 30% carnauba paste.  I do all of my waxing by hand, but do have one of those crap tire Simonize buffers.  I'd like a product I can apply by hand.

What would you recommend for a beginner?  And what's the "right" way to do it?

Thanks

Like its been mentioned, try the meguiars scratch x, great stuff and fool proof. Follow the instructions, and you cant go wrong.

With a rubbing compound you can surely remove that clearcoat, but you dont want to do that, unless you plan on getting it re-cleared.
