what do you guys recommend on removing light buffer swirls between HD Speed and Menzerna MC2500?

How did the buffer swirls get there?

Adding to my post. what would you guys use? Do you guys think that HD speed will completely remove the buffer swirls while adding a layer of protection=saving time or would you rather use the MC2500 followed by an LSP?

with a rotary buffer..I used the MC2500 with a orange pad on a DA right after.. Not sure how I still have buffer trails. Everything looked perfect the day it got done

So you put the buffer trails in? What pad/compound?

You might need to try FG400 on an orange pad to remove them if the PF2500 isn't working.

Before you do that, how are you setting up your pad with polish? What speed are you using on the d/a? With PF2500?

I used 5 pea sized dots of the 2500 on an orange pad using my GG DA polisher on speed setting 5. Im thinking I may have moved a bit fast with the polisher when I got to the fender and hood causing it to not fully remove the buffer swirls. Would this be a cause? The rest of the car is fine no swirls.

That's would be my bet you did. Either move it to fast or to few passes or you had pad stalling to the parts where you has the buffer trails left.
Test with the same setup pf2500 and the orange pad. Have you marked the backing plate so you see if you got rotation on it?

Oh yeah, watch that arm speed. Give those abrasives time to give it nice firm pressure. Those orange pads take a lot more pressure than others to effectively abraded paint (which is why I never use them!).
