Okay I'm new and still working on my Volvo (yes I know it's taking me for ever) but it's all the weathers fault...honestly it is. So the weather got nice for this past weekend (January 27 & 28) and I decided to go try to finish off the Volvo. I'm using the PC with Edge 2000 pads. I've been getting really good resutls with orange pad with XMT#3. I did the hood, the trunk, the roof, the driver side fender. Then I moved on to the driver side door panels and that is when all this happend.
At first I didn't pay much attention to what looks to me like a "smudge". When I wiped the area clean I noticed that I could not remove the "smudge". I was getting worried so I left it alone. It looks like I burnt the paint but I just went out to the garage and I started to scrape the "smudge" with my nail and it comes off no problem. So what exactly is this? I didn't damage the paint (thank god) but now I'm curious what it is.
Take a look at these pictures.

Oh yea all the white stuff you see is dust from the polish, after I thought I burnt the paint I just put everything down and stepped away from the vehicle :(.
So, it looks like I didn't burn the paint but just courious what I did.
If some of you know what this is and know how to get rid of it please let me know as I'm stuck right now. The only way I get remove this is by scraching it off...well so far.
