Your hand and arm is also a polisher, just not as fast or as consistent as a powered polisher. Areas on paint around the door handles are often done by hand so you might want to give that a shot. If you have a small foam pad, use that with polishes/compounds until it corrects. Or use a nice and soft microfiber towel to do the scrubbing/polishing and see what that gets you. Try to do your test spots in an inconspicuous area if you can until you figure out the products that give you proper results.
