What a weekend Chris!
I was sad to have to leave prior to seeing the end result but glad I was able to help get you started.
My fingers, wrists, and shoulder are still feeling it... and I still need to do my car.
With the compound and polish out of the way, you should put sealant on so that you don't need to do this over again any time soon.
Kevin might have had some:

After that, you can apply wax which I know he had:

Both of those are way easier to apply (than what we were doing with compound/wax) and take a lot less time. Essentially spread it on, let it sit, and wipe it off. Which, by the time you get it applied around the car it's ready to wipe off.
