compound is not wax, and vice versa.

compound is microbeads used for smoothing out paint.

wax is a natural/synthetic substance used to add depth and gloss to paint.

There isn't a magical product that makes models shiny, its a process of judgment and hard work, judging when to use sandpaper, when to just use compound, how long to polish, how not to polish through to the primer, etc. etc.
