First Polish - Have ?

I recently got a G110 and some Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover with a Orange pad. After washing and claying, I started polishing. I put a dime size amount of the Pinnacle on the pad and spread it around. I then put the G110 to 3 and spread it some more. After a couple passes, I increased the speed to 5 and started to polish. I worked the polish in until it broke down. I wasn't really sure when this was and started trying different lengths of time working the polish. Sometimes when I worked it for a while I started getting a fine dust. Is this a sign or working the polish too long or is this normal?



Also, after working the polish and removing with a MF cloth, I noticed that there were still swirls. This is a two year old Chevy Avalanche that has never had anything like this done to it. Only washes, both hand and brushless car wash and maybe a coat of cheap wax about a year and a half ago. Using the lights, I could still see small scratches in the paint and it was not a mirror-like finish. Is this indicative of needing something more aggressive? If so, what would be the next aggressive polish and pad?
 
Take note that i have NEVER polished before, but i have done months of research...and found that Menzerna Super Intensive polish is very abrassive and finishes pretty good....Some polishes just dust, but if you didnt take swirls out, that might mean you need to go to more abbrasive stuff. Menzerna does not dust that much. The next step up in pads would be the yellow cutting pad (which is the most abrasive one)...this combination is very abrasive and you should be careful with it. But i bet it would get the job done...since i have no experiance using this polish i would recommend a finishing polish just incase you make some hazing or holograming. Im not sure how good pinnicle stuff works. But ive talked to about 10 advanced users about Menzerna and they like it.



good luck hope i helped.and take into account im pretty new too...might want to get some more opinions for your case
 
Thanks for the input Joey.....anyone else car to chime in?



I'm really concerned about the dust when polishing....is it normal?
