My car has very hard paint - white paint. Last fall I polished my car with an orange 5 inch CCS pad and Optimum Compound. OC did a pretty decent job on the swirling by using two passes but still some swirling. My paint was so hard, it finished LSP ready. I went ahead and followed it with Poli-Seal but Poli-Seal really did nothing appearance wise to the paint, only put down a base for my sealant.

Next spring I will polish again with Hyper Compound and a yellow 5 inch CCS pad. Will following that combo with Optimum Polish on a white 5 inch CCS pad be too much of a jump? In other words, will the hazing left over from Hyper Compound and and the yellow pad be too much for Optimum Polish on the white pad? Should I take a smaller step down to Optimum Compound on an orange pad THEN go to Optimum Polish on a white pad?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
