its basically to aid water run off and to reduce the chance of adding swirls back into the paint.
you only polish in circles to work the compound/glaze into the surface to make it glass smooth again.

if anyone can explain that better please do so, im crap at explaining things:( im better at showing people how to do stuff like this.
