Same here. That is why I started doing a small test piece of wood similar to my gunstocks when I do the finish work now so I can test on that piece before screwing up my stock. Also, the hardest part is the 30 day waiting period to let the stock finish completely cure before rubbing it out.... learned that lesson the hard way a couple times...
You might want to see if someone close like and LGS, Sportsmans, etc... has some Birchwood Casey gun stock rubbing compound. I've had to use it in a pinch and it works, but not as well as my traditional methods. Polishing compound will clean up what it doesn't IMO...
