peanut butter. lol..then again that's just like wax..I think you can wet sand the clear off it and reclear it, that is if it still has a clear.

just for the compound..I'd wet sand it first and reclear..if it just has a haze to it and you dont' wanna do wetsanding I'd use some strong wax and buff it..I still think wet sanding would be your best bet..

as for cracks..hmm..don't know what to say there :?
