Should I do rubbing compund after the clear coat?

what should I use, a rubbing compound, glaze or what would be best? This is for an Yamaha YZFR6 I just painted. Help.Should I do rubbing compund after the clear coat?
Clear coating is the last process in painting.


You really should not even wash the paint job a good month after painting. If it gets dirty,, a soft sponge and water to clean it,,, after a month or so then start washing by hand with the correct soap.


I personally would not mess with a rubbing compound,,, they have some new stuff out in a red bottle,, the name slips my mind,, but you just wipe it on and it will have the shine of a autoshow!


I think liguid glass,,,Should I do rubbing compund after the clear coat?
You probably wouldn't be asking that question if there wasn't some room for improvement.I find the best way to get a near perfect finish is to let the clear dry for a couple days in the sun then water sand with 1000 grit and spray them out again using a little more reducer and higher pressure.Things always seem to come out better this way,some pros call this ';sanding between coats';.
