I'd like to start experimenting with compound and abrasive polishes on the spinner.

Compound... As in regular auto buffing compound available at the auto store? What grit should I expect to end up with and are there different types?

Abrasive polishes... Would this be = Rough buff? Are there other locally available options or is it best to buy from proshop/online?

Thanks in advance

Signature? I dont need no stinking signature...
