Default Rubbing Compound for urethane bumper

I just repainted my front bumper and rear bumper. I used PPG lacquer Question is i can see some sanding marks in the paint that I would want to rub out by hand. I have tried Turtle wax white polishing compound but it is not very aggresive and doesnt hardly dent the lacquer. Can anyone recommend a compound to use? I will be doing it by hand.

Thanks

3M has a good line. Use a find cut rubbing compund followed by finishing glaze. I have removed several fine scratches from my Corvettes and other cars as well, by hand.

3M's Perfect It II and Perfect It III make a great combo. Do you have a local NAPA parts store or autopaint supplier? If so, they should have it.
