How far are you going through grits with the wet & dry? At what point are you using pumice (and is that being used wet or dry?)?
Is there any possibility of buff contamination?
I don't use Hyfin, so I can't comment on that specifically; calico wheels are generally quite hard though and in combination with the Hyfin (which is more for stainless, IIRC) you'll be shifting quite a bit of material. Stitched linen mops are probably not what I'd choose for colour - might use loose ones for cut though. Shouldn't be a problem with using Dialux Blue, but I'd go softer on the mop.
In general, I'd use a wool mop with Tripoli and then a swansdown mop with rouge - however, for flat surfaces, I'd probably use a felt wheel with the Tripoli. No hard & fast rules, really.
As for matt textures and pawmarks - give it a coat of Renaissance wax and it'll stay "pregreased".
Oh - and clean everything thoroughly between polishing stages!
