Not rubbing compound!!! Thats much more abrasive then 1500 wet. A finish poslish like Meguiars Deep Crystal Polish would be fine...
3M Fine Cut Rubbing Compound works great (applied after wet sanding). Removes 1500 grit or finer scratches. It'* one of the products you can use, but yes polish is good too. You just have to give the paint a lot of time to dry/set before applying any rubbing or polishing compounds.
