URGENT need help! Correcting 2011 Mustang.

[RusWolf]

Hello everyone!
My first time doing full paint correction however i have read alot and watched alot of videos prior to doing this.
However, i am running into some issues.

I am using a long throw 15mm Maxshine M15 polisher. Mequires M105 and M205 with lake country Orange pads.
I am NOT getting the result i wanted, basically i had my hood repainted at the body shop and obviously i have alot of swirls and holograms on the whole car because the shop decided to do me a favor and poliah my whole car with a rotary.

Not only am i not getting rid of the swirls and holograms i feel like i just created few more holograms.
I am working on a small section of the hood. Also my orange pad turned black.. the car IS black and I believe a single stage color Ford black code UA.

can someone PLEASE tell what am i doing wrong here?!

How long ago was the car repainted? If it is single stage paint it is normal to see your pad change to the color of the paint as you are removing paint while polishing.

The car was painted in the fall.. so its been good 6 month at least.

Here are some pics.

Are those pictures after 105 and an orange pad? If so, that looks like hazing left from the 105. Try 205 with a white pad and see if the haze is removed.

Thats orange pad after 105 and 205.
My noob butt didn’t purchase a white pad.
I have orange, blue and black.

Do you guys suggest ordering white pad and wait until than?
Also, is white pad more aggressive than orange pad?

Orange is more aggressive than white. I don't use 105 or 205 so someone else that uses those two products might have better suggestions for moving forward. Do you have any other polishes besides 105/205?

It shouldn't be single stage on a 2011. You said the hood was repainted, if your getting black from other parts of the car that are factory paint something isn't right. Did you clay the car? Is the entire face of the pad covered in black?

Yes i clayed the car and used iron remover as well.. it was probably 70% of the pad got black.

I also have ultimate compound.
Which seems to make the paint shine..
but it seems like i am NOT going anywhere with the swirls.. I’m confused

By the way:
Is there a way to determine if i burned through a clearcoat?
Also, would that even be possible with a DA long throw?
I do not remember standing at 1 spot.

I checked the area and all looks shiny.. and swirly under LED spot light.
