You did a great job!

Yep, I did the same thing. I got busy and haven't finished but I've wet sanded from about 600 to 2000 or 2500 too. I finally found BriWax here so I can wax when I get a chance to and remember both the machine and the wax at the same time.

The swirls were not necessarily the heat. I have no heat problems here except in the summer and I did mine in the winter and early spring.
