How do these things work? I know they take a layer of paint off the top and all that but how do they do that? I don't mean scientifically though.

 

Isn't there a lacquer on top of the paint? If so how do these products manage to get to the paint?

 

Also, people use rubbing compound to mix in old and new paint right? So how does that work?

 

Any help would be great as I've been doing a bit of spraying (headlight panel) and feel that a bit of knowledge might help me become one with my spray cans ;)
