    Like you have already stated hand is the way to go. Aother option is to cut up some old polishing pads into smaller easy to use pieces.

    What would be the best compound and polish to use by hand for this task?

    i normally use a heavy/extreme cutting compound for this like either fg400,m105 or presta ultra or super cutting creme. depends on the car. then i just use whatever else im using on the rest of the car for each step. the most i have ever gotten out was like 60-75% and that required a ton of elbow grease. haha
