Default Need Buff/polish help

I have a white Audi s5

If anyone is familiar with chemical guys, i'd like your help.

I purchases VSS (polish/buff) in one compound
a white polish, orange buff, and a black wax pad. From chemicalguys.com

I knew the clear coat was hard with Audi s5. But how hard? I feel like the amount of force and time i spend (5 mins) within a square foot would damage the paint.

The metal gets warm, but the pad doesn't.

I get a good amount of swirls out but the fine scratches are left. I also used Meguiars ultimate compound and Meguiars scratch 2.0.

the compound works slightly less than the VSS compound

I'm thinking i need to get a v32 or v34 compound and try again. Those are their most aggressive compounds.

Has anyone here used chemicalguys products on their audi?
