Just an update for everyone that pitched in and gave me a hand here...

I revised my PC method based on a lot of common problems that I've read on this forum. I was using way way too much polish (SSRs) and trying to cover too much paint surface area at once. I'm now using a solid line of polish across the pad face, and working that into a roughly 2'x2' area each time. I increased my work time by about a minute (extra pass or so), as well. Once the SSR slightly starts dusting, I end the polishing. I am, though, still keeping the PC at speed 5 - I think this clear coat is soft enough that 5 does a sufficient job.

Thanks for everyone that gave me advice - goes to show that even though something has worked well a few dozen times, doesn't mean you're an expert in that area.
