Question regarding rubbing compound!

[jon364]

1) What kind of rubbing compound works well with duplicolor paints?
2) How much rubbing compound do you use to smooth orange peel effects?
3) after rubbing the paint with the compound, do you wash the compound off with water fully before painting again??
4) Do you use cloth to apply the compound? or can i use cotton swabs?

Any help would be appreciated.

1. Tamiya Compound works good on all paint.
2. Compound will not remove orange peel. You will need to sand it out
3.No...you shouldn't have to paint again as rubbing compound and wax is the last things you do
4. A nice soft cloth

Have a read in the FAQ as it helps also.
