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.

ok,thanks for the info
