I'll jump in here, rather than start a new thread...

I have a 3 month old MB Z that i am about to do this exact thing to; polish with m205 to go for a show car shine because(1) "everything's shiny Capt'n" is my favorite quote and (2) I just bought a new RO polisher / pads / compounds and cleaned up my wife's 2011 dark blue Prius to get top $ trade on a new Subaru Forester, when I was done ( and I to watched all the Junkman's excellent videos!) it was a gorgeous blue ( just ignore the Prius part) it really outshined my Z, which is new/ flawless paint , clayed, with 2 layers of Meguirs Ultimate paint sealant and a layer of good carnuba wax to boot.

so I'll be testing this theory out v soon and will report back, the Z; under my bear flashlight's beam(a Cree 3 led light I scan the backyard/ woods with at night before letting the mutts(pugs) out ever since letting them out one night while Yogi bear was emptying our bird feeders of tasty sunflower seeds) beam I can read newspaper print in, but can see the faintest spread out orange peel type pattern across the clear coat which (I think/ hope) will polish out and if I get the same results as the blue on the Prius shined up to I'll do the chubby checker dance like junkman, just not on my hood.
