Yep, Sir!
Short reviews:
CL Schleifpaste (compound)
White, thick cream with neutral smell. Quite gritty when you rub between your fingers, but the abrasives break down quickly.
Works excellent with a DA; it finishes down even on CDs absolutely haze free (white pad). It doesn`t have Optimum lubricity/workability, but stays wet nicely. Defect removal capability is very good; agressivity is on par or slightly below 1Z Pasta Intensive/Extra. When you use the proper amounts, it won`t dust. Easy to remove.
CL Polierpaste (polishing paste)
Tan colored, a bit oily product, with a smooooth, creamy consistency. You can`t feel any abrasives with your bare fingers in it; the crystals are suspended very well.
It doesn`t have REAL bite, it is rather a very mild product for even finer surface prep. Spreads very well, but a *bit * more difficult to remove. Same hydrocarbon smell but a touch more intensive than the Schleif`s. Not as overpowering as the CL68 & LLS though.
I recommend these products, but definitely for machine use. They don`t fill and by hand they leave a very fine micro-micromarring. Using a DA however, ensures very bright, flawless surfaces.

Have you tried them with a rotary? I have it under good authority they may be headed over to US shores and it definately sounds like they are worth trying.
*edit* BTW, in English, the products are marked Scratch Remover, and Restore Polish, I`m guess the S.R is the compound, and the R.P. is the polish? Do you know?

Looks like I`ll have to regularly check the werkstatt site to see if and when those products will be available here. :)

gbackus, nope, I haven`t tried them with rotary.
Yep, the names are correct.

CL recommends them for gelcoats, plastics, stainless steel, aluminum, chrome, tiles, ceran, etc. too.

How do you scoop out the right amount of product?

With a little plastic spoon or with my finger.
