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?

With a little plastic spoon or with my finger.
