1. clean area to be painted
2. sand with 180 grit
3. reclean
4. prime
5. block sand primer to make it smooth and to get out any imperfections. You can either use 400 grit and put a sealer down after you sand it or use 600 grit and spray paint over the primer.
6. clean sanding dust off
7. (assuming you used 400 grit on the primer) spray sealer
8. spray base coat
9. clear coat
optional: if you have a lot of dust or orange peel and you want to take them out the best way is to buff them out.
Start with 1500-2000 grit sandpaper and wetsand the painted area untill dust or orange peel is removed to a satisfactory level. Then using a buffing compound use a buffer to bring the shine back out. If its a darker color and the scratches still show use a 4000 grit sandpaper and repeat the sanding and buffing
I don't know who told you to do a rubbing compound between coats of clear, but that is wrong.
also check the paint manufactures suggestions on prep procedures and propere substrate usage.
This is very general if you have any specific questions let me know.
