Are you sure you are seeing swirls and not holograms?
Do you have a DA to use for your final finishing step?
Photos would be useful.

I don't know but even your last (after) photo doesn't look right for a surface you've sanded up thru 5000 grit.

Hard to see any swirls in the pics of the paint that was worked. All I see is haze.

Yes I have done a very similar process on a SL500 and a 64 Impala and the results were amazing.. I have read on other forums that it is very hard to remove swirls and imperfections on the Brilliant Black Very hard thick Paint
Haven't worked on
Worked on

Re: Help!! Audi A5 Sline Brilliant Black: Swirl Removal
Did you take thickness readings before and after sanding (with your elcometer)? Do you know how much paint was removed?
You say everything was done with the flex vrg, and I see no DA pigtails, then my conclusion would be there are still some deeper scratches left after the wetsanding and you need to remove more clear if safe.

Those don't look like swirls left over, they appear to be tracers from the wetsanding by hand.

Even if you stopped at 2500 grit, the purple wool + Uber compound should have been able to remove those sanding marks.
That looks like marring from your MF towel.
