Snoop,

I noticed that you are using lacquer thinner to clean your part prior to changing compounds. Try using acetone to clean when changing compounds. Use a different buff for each compound. For a final clean up prior to using Mothers Mag wheel polish, that mpierich suggested, use some Dawn dish washing liquid in warm water.
