Doesn't sound like road film if you did all that prep work.

Maybe do a small section with a heavier polish and see if that makes a difference.
 
Thanks all Just doing my family’s cars and comparing my work to the guy’s on show and shine threads
My cars don’t have that better than new look I am good with the paint correction it’s more or less everything else
Everything is clean and lookin good but doesn’t have the tightness you prows put out
 
Try ValuGard ABC. From my understanding is you use an Alkaline soap to neutralize acids. Then an Acidic soap to neutralize Alklalines and then. Ph neutral wash.

I’m going to use BH AutoFoam followed by CarPro Descale and then TS Mystic bubble.

Can you provide any pictures? Maybe some close ups showing areas you don't think aren't looking as good as you hope?

I'm thinking it might be something going on in the polishing step too. Any road film should be long gone after a mechanical polish.

Are you polishing by hand or with a machine? What products pads?

I could see the problem going two ways.
1. The polish/pad isn't aggressive enough to fully remove the defects from harder paint
2. The polish/pad is too aggressive on soft paint and you're getting a form of haze which will require a second polishing step with a milder combination to refine.
 
Well thank you all I am computer dumb so no pictures at 65 this old dog only types
My paint polishing is good and the car looks good Just doesn’t look good everywhere
Kind of where everything meets together can’t get the look that you prows get
