Unhappy Need help to fix my hood

Yesterday I decided to test my polishing products. I'm new to polishing with PC but recently I polished my friends car and it came out beautiful, so I decided to tackle my S2000. I polished half of my hood with orange pad and Pinnacle XMT #2 followed by Pinnacle XMT #1 and wax with white pad. Basically I followed instructions from this video
YouTube - Porter cable 7424 light swirl remover

Left side of the hood polished



and this is how it came out
Can someone tell me what did I do wrong here? And how do I fix it?

I did go over with white pad and XMT#1, and I can say it's not the LSP because those marks showed up after the firt step XMT#2 and then I did a few more steps XMT1 and XMT sealant + carnuba wax and nothing happened. I just want to mention I did the other half of the hood with menzerna IP and it came out beautiful, I used identical motion and speed with PC.

This smudging showed up after first step XMT#2

go slower movements and higher speeds to get rid of those holograms.
