Problem is, I paid so much attention to details with lights and close looks I know all the imperfections. Some I never would have noticed.
Lessons learned: let the products do the work. Pressure on the buffer doesn't mean pressure side to side or up and down. Has to be constant. Like they say in golf, let the club do the work. The microfiber towels I used wiped new swirls as fast as I removed them when I tried to buff out the final marks I could see under the light. It's frustrating. Like building a sand castle.... Work your ass off and one wrong wave fucks it up.
To the pros that do this every day, whatever you charge is not enough. It's worth every penny. Hard slow tedious work that sometimes requires re-do.
End of the day I'm mostly satisfied. Except for the pollen that is apparently permanently embedded under the menzerna sealer. I could take a picture of a shiny black hood, but it won't show the marks I know are there.

I think you have a good grasp of what you're doing.
If I may give you a little hint, let the polish do its work, don't wipe it off before it's ready.
Just work an area with your buffer and polish, until the polish starts to almost disappear like when it becomes translucent generally in the 3 minutes range for the M205 less time with the M105.
If you're having a hard time removing it it's because you didn't work it in long enough...
