Wrong pad selection?

I just got done doing my 350z Hood. (black)



So I started with the XMT Fine swirl remover w/orange Edge pad since even though i had a lot of swirls, they seemed light. I also didn't want to go above my head. What started off as long strait swirls have now turned into short curved one (da action).



So I just finished 2 passes with the edge white pad with the XMT Ultra Fine swirl remover and they are still there. Should I just keep going with the white pad till they are gone? How much pressure should I use, I have just been using the weight of the machine?



Should I have started with one of the blue pads that came with the edge setup instead of the orange one? I had tried my UDM on two other vehicles, both GM one blue and one black. And the results were more in line with what I was expecting my car to turn out.



I mean from further back it looks a lot better then it did when I started, but up real close it looks worse.
 
Alright thanks. That worked 10x better.



I'll tell you what. It is definitely not as easy as some have made it look. I have only done the hood bumper and front fenders.



What do you usually run for speeds?I noticed on my UDM that 5 to 5.5 seem about the same, but 6 is a whole lot faster. It is like it should really be speed 7 or something.
 
Mine does that too. It seems like all of a sudden the thing is screaming. Then when you go back down it seems like it is barely moving. But that is normal with the UDM's, must be the extra power they advertise over the PC
