I agree. Compounding is more than likely going to marr the finish(foam or wool). When you're heavy buffing a vehicle, you start strong and work your way down. It's unavoidable. During the compounding process, you start at the top and go down. Each step minimizes swirling as you go down the abrasive meter. If you skip steps in between, you won't remove the initial compounding swirls. I can never go from compounding(wool) to polishing with a foam pad. There's too much of a gap in between those steps to achieve the proper long term outcome. It requires an additional breakdown with a wool pad. Then foam, foam, LSP.
