When have I machine compounded enough?

Hey again. After 2000 w/d sanding over some single stage AE, i am now machine compounding, Then I go to some polish like Mirror Glaze 3 or so right?
Question is - how should I know when I have compounded enough to go to the next step? Should the paint look realllllly good from this or will that come out with the polish?

Thanks,
Ridin

the paint shoud look pretty much finished ie: no rub marks at all. the mirror glaze is only really used to remove swirl marks created by the heavier compound and to put a uv protectant and "protective layer" on the paint
