With the M105 I use a white wool pad
With the M205 Black finishing pad, sometimes a yellow pad. Depends on the paint

Wax

I very lightly use california duster just to keep it clean in between waxes. Lexus black scratches very easily and its a pain to keep up to make it look nice. But once done correctly you get that mirror shine
Good job man, that's mirror finish

Question which pad did you use with the M105? I read M105 cuts pretty heavy on our paint, so I just used Ultimate compound instead.

SM Arnold 7 1/2" white wool pad, its a cheapie but doesnt the job. Its not too agressive.

Ive never used UC, like I mentioned I dont like using the Meguairs retail stuff because they use fillers. Nothing like buffing out scratches you think you pulled out only to see them 3 months later.
