It's an abrasive polish, more pure than automotive polishes. Think of it as a liquid form of very high grit sandpaper that is in a paste-like carrier. You apply it to a clean cotton cloth and rub down the paint to smooth it out by smudging the paint around (quite literally).
Toothpaste does the same thing for your teeth in that its a paste or gel with an abrasive in it to break down the rough plaque that builds up on your teeth. You can actually use toothpaste as a polish for your cars if you can find something that doesnt have all the additives of new toothpastes.

But if you live in the UK don't even bother trying to find Tamiya Compound or Polish as it isn't even imported here by the importers!!
DAMN THEM!!

i had to special order a tube from japan through my hobby shop but it was well worth the wait!!!!
 its great if you use like duplicolor or krylon because you can get a laquer like paint job for cheaper, but use it on tamiya laquer and its fabulous, also final touch wax is awsome!!! sorry for babbling on.......
