Default After wet sanding what compound should I use on the paint

So I'm not painting a car its just a bike frame so any mistakes can be easily fixed or I can just do the entire thing over

Anyways After 48 hours of letting the gloss black paint set I wanted to wet sand the paint to smooth it out. What sort of compound do I need to use to buff the paint back to shiny after wet sanding? I know there is 3m rubbing compound but would something like turtle wax polishing compound work?



Or any other suggestions or what to use?

I would say no, but maybe. Try some Meguire's products
