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 :nixweiss

Can someone tell me what did I do wrong here? And how do I fix it?

looks like you didn't remove all the wax correctly to me. try giving it a qd and see if any of the smudgy look comes off.
 
also consider going back over it with white pad and xmt 1 to see if it is in fact the lsp that's uglifying your paint. that would be my bet. if it looks great without all that hazy crap it's definitely the lsp.

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.
