hey chris try this. i did the math and the speed you are getting is about 3100 sfpm. that is slow but still might work. pick a spot on the wheel. work with the emory and go back an forth cut and color in the same spot. keep this up till it seems like you can get no more shine. rake often and keep the wheel loaded up with compound. when you dont see any more cutting action get the brightest light you can find and look at the wheel at close to 90 degrees and see if the scratches are still there. if so then keep working the emory it will cut them out it is just a slow process sometimes. if no scratches then move to the loose and white do the same in the same spot and see if the scratches come back. i have had that happen before on some jobs. when moving to white i sometimes have to do it with a spiral wheel also to keep from scratching the finish. if you stay in a small area it will tell you if the technique is right and if so move on to the next small spot. sometimes when working with slower wheel speed you have to concentrate the cut in small patterns. with the speed your drill is turning it should not cause any rippling of the surface. also dont get to discouraged as this is more art than science so it take some practice to turn out show finish.
