      M105 & a woolpad or cuttingpad on a rotary work very well for removing wetsandingmarks .
      To refine after compounding M205 or M80 & a polishingpad on a DA will give you the result your after !
      Just make sure that you remove all sandingmarks before you start polishing to a high gloss !

        Meguiar’s® Dual Action Polisher G110 would that do?

          If you already have the G110, then it certainly wouldn't hurt to try. Prime the pads per the Kevin Brown Method to slightly increase your cutting ability. Will you be using a cutting pad, or a polishing pad?

          Other than that, rotary buffing is usually required to remove wetsanding marks.

            In my experience it is possible to remove wetsandingmarks with a G110 (DA).
            I did a test on a scrap panel that i wetsanded with 2000grit and 2500grit Wet and dry ( 3M ).

            On the first picture i used M105 & a Even Coat Applicator. (3 passes )



            On the second picture M105 & a cuttingpad on a DA (2 passes)






            When i was finished the panel looked like this !

            STARTED WITH THIS



            ENDRESULT

              ok, i see now, but for best results on wet sanding marks, a rotary buffer would be better and a DA for polishing

              one more question, now that thought about it a bit more, what if i dont decide to wet sand, could i still use the M105 for removing some minor scratches and then finish up with a M205 or M80? both process on a DA
