Usually, rubbing compound is used on laquer or a clear coat. I always clear coat my painted products which is usually the last step before rubbing compund on a DIY. Here are your nest steps.
1.Strip
2.Sand
3.Primer
4.Paint
5.Laquer/Clearcoat
6.Rubbing Compound (lightly)
7.Wax/Polish to a shine.
After being let down by so many different laquers and clear coats i just use soapy water and 800 grit sand paper (completely soaked in soapy water) and wet sand it. wet Sand > rubbing compund.
