OK, quite a few different things going on here.
First off, it looks as though you've got a few areas that are beyond repair with what you have on hand, and probably beyond repair without some spot sanding and maybe even painting. Those are things you probably don't even want to consider at this point. Instead, concentrate on correcting the vast majority of the swirls, fine scratches, etc rather than those couple of nasty gouges on the bumper and side. Both of those look like they're deep enough to have removed a substantial amount of paint. And the cracking on the portion of the bumper that's hanging a bit loose can only be fixed by sanding it down and repainting. Again, probably not something you want to tackle at this point.
As for the paint transfer you removed, it would seem you did an outstanding job of getting the actual transferred material off your car, but maybe got a bit too aggressive in the process. It is very likely that this car has what we would call "delicate" paint and that Ultimate Compound is maybe a bit more aggressive than you need. Before we accept that as fact, however, let's look at your application method:
- What kind of applicator did you use? Terry cloth is very aggressive and that material itself can cause the kind of hazing you're seeing.
- How aggressively did you work the Ultimate Compound? If you were scrubbing pretty hard to get that paint transfer off, you could inflict a lot of marring too, almost regardless of the pad. If you used a foam wax applicator pad, go over the area again with UC but go easy, and work it for several minutes. Really ease up on the pressure toward the end of the process.
- Since you have that sample bottle of Cleaner Wax, try applying that with a foam applicator to the hazed area and see what, if any, improvement you get.
If you find that even with a foam applicator and light pressure you still have marring, then UC may indeed be too aggressive for this paint. That's not common, but it does happen. And sometimes hand application can exacerbate the situation, too. Read through The Challenge of Delicate Paint to get an idea how to approach this paint when working by hand. You may need a two step process here since those swirls look pretty heavy - that means you may need the punch of Ultimate Compound to remove them, even though it will haze the paint, and then something like SwirlX or ColorX to clean up the hazing. That's what we did on the Honda in the article on delicate paint, and it came up great. You can use the NXT Tech Wax 2.0 after the ColorX to gain some gloss, protection and durability.
Whatever you do, don't let that M01 Medium Cut Cleaner touch that paint, especially when working by hand!
