Once it's fairly slick I use a swirl remover on about 18-1900 rpm and a white foam pad. Then hand polish with Mirror Glaze #7 or the 3M hand glaze.

The paint on my GMC is probably 12-15yrs old so it's not going to be perfect but it sure looks a lot better than it did. I am definitely getting the dead stuff off.

I have never seen a shiney orange ! lol.
Sounds like your buffing is going well... Have you ever tried the Trizact foam 3000 on a da and the 1500 dry before works well. Are you wet sanding or using a da for the 1500?
Nice Truck BTW!!!!
