Oh you'll know buffer marks if you see them. It is a circular pattern...it is distinctive.

Re: Help a PC7424 noob. Made paint worse!

First time I used a PC on Audi paint, it took a little time with OP. Started with a white pad but didn't do much. Then went orange, then white, then grey. Much better. Patience is the key and maybe making multiple passes especially with a PC. Constantly wipe off the polish residue and check your work before continuing.
