I just got done doing my 350z Hood. (black)

So I started with the XMT Fine swirl remover w/orange Edge pad since even though i had a lot of swirls, they seemed light. I also didn't want to go above my head. What started off as long strait swirls have now turned into short curved one (da action).

So I just finished 2 passes with the edge white pad with the XMT Ultra Fine swirl remover and they are still there. Should I just keep going with the white pad till they are gone? How much pressure should I use, I have just been using the weight of the machine?

Should I have started with one of the blue pads that came with the edge setup instead of the orange one? I had tried my UDM on two other vehicles, both GM one blue and one black. And the results were more in line with what I was expecting my car to turn out.

I mean from further back it looks a lot better then it did when I started, but up real close it looks worse.
