Rotary help! New user with an issue

Hello everyone!
I am a new PC user with a PC issue. I was using it on a sapphire metallic black 745li when i began to have issues. The trunk lid and read left door went fine. After that problems arose. The PC began straining a LOT. If I was polishing a horizontal surface, the machine would overheat and shut off. I had to lift up to keep less pressure on the paint. It was also hopping a lot. It I didn't hold it up, an edge would catch and off it would go. So....I thought washing it would help. I washed it and let it air dry. While the yellow pad was drying, I decided to use the black pad and finishing glaze on the parts I had already gone over with the yellow. Still, the same problem, but WORSE. It was impossible to control. Also, it didn't even remove the glaze. It just caked onto the paint and would NOT come off. I had to scratch it off with my nail. One HOUR later, I'm back to the yellow pad. Again, still hopping and resisting. Creating TONS of friction. Please help! I'm using a vector polisher at 1k RPM with Yellow and 3M rubbing compound, and black with 3M finishing glaze.

PS. I began to worry when my yellow pad began to get dark grey/black. I thought I went through the clear, but I didn't leave the machine on one spot for all that long at all. I kept it moving and the paint never got even close to "too hot to touch." But then again, it was like rubbing your finger on a balloon: very hard to move.
