compund is the equivalent of a 100 grit polish.
It comes from the IDEA of automotive "polishing compund". Bowling has a few different "compunds" whose main purpose is to help drillers finish off the plugs in a ball in one step: they smooth out the sanding lines from 400-500 grit (which the driller uses, after routing off the plug material) and then applies a light polish, which is the equivalent of about 1000 grit.
Ultimate's Quick Kut and Polish and Track's Clean and Sheen do these tasks in one step.

Bowling: Just like hand grenades and horse shoes, you only have to get close.
Life: Deal with what is.
