I would have to see the video. The only thing that I could think of is he was finishing that last finish (burnishing process and then lastly going over the whole are to reensure there are no trail marks left and to blend the whole gloss all together.
If he is burnishing the paint with a finish polish, the he should have already corrected the paint with another correction polish. But, on Porsche's they are very soft and all you mainly need is a finish polish and a blue pad. Anything more aggressive will be overkill for these paints, whether it is a harsher polish or pad.
Find the video and I will be able to tell you for sure.
