I found that F9 is really harsh. Please use with great care. The swirls it leaves are very difficult to get out. At least that has been my experience. I prefer more passes with C or F7, or G6. Sometimes after polishing for a while, it seems like they work all the same.
We have been trying the Airstream kit from Jestco products. Basically polishing wheels with rouge bars - old school. I am not ready to make a complete statement yet, since we're still working with it. However, it is definitely faster to get the metal to get a deep shine. All the polishing swirls are in a vertical orientation, no circular marks. It seems that following that with a cyclo might just cut the polishing time down by at least 30-40%. But, I will share more information once that is confirmed.
We have noticed that after changing direction on an already polished surface with the compounder, a milky haze appeared.
Try running the compounder over this haze from left to right only, do the reverse stroke in the air, not on the metal. It helped in some stubborn cases of haze/milky appearance.
