paint problem

Well I tried some turtle wax rubbing compound on my buffer it is blending the paint to one shade. I know it is not the best as it seems to be very coarse and is leaving swirlls.
Any suggestions on a good rubbing compound. It is leaving the paint a little dull in finish.
My question would you use rubbing compound then swirll remover then wax or glaze as long as the compound blends out the dry spots.
And Thank you all for the info has been almost a year long project and feels like I am closing in on the finish line
