Buffing Streaks

I'm a little late but what I do is use the stage 3 blue compound made by 3M with a black foam pad to get swirls out.

I use as little compound as possible for the polishing stage. Like 1/4 of the amount of compound I'd use for the first 2 stages. Anyway I wipe the blue compound on with a pad and then turn the buffer speed way down. I don't know the RPM's but my Makita has 5 speeds. I cut with it on 3 and I polish with it on 1. So at the 1 speed I keep the buffer as straight as possible on the panel and just go easy. I'll barely put any pressure on the panel and mainly let the weight of the buffer do 75% of the work. Since I barely use any compound, I go until I don't really see any compound left. Normally this works but sometimes I have to do it a couple times if there's still swirls left when I'm done.
