came out better than it was, but still far from perfect. theres still a good bit of pitting in it, but at least now its fairly uniform.

have you tried using fine rubbing compound? I recommend 3M. Then use Polish. it'll look 10 times better

when I did my car, I used 2000 grits, 3M Fine rubbing compound, 3M Med cut cleaner, then Meg. #7, then Meg#26.

The rubbing compound is different than the polishing compound, you know that right?

The rubbing compound cuts more than polishing compound.
