Tested a few test spots and came to conclusion that the KBM on G220 was the best combo for me at that time.
One single pass of M105 - not yet finished with M205
Deeper defects remained.
All from passenger side
Rear Panel - Passenger Side
Rear Spoiler
B Pillar - its all swirl free now
Next, the driver's side
Front Fender

After KBM+G220+M105

Roof-After
The headlights were also polished with M105 & M205 but no pictures were taken.
After all polishing was done, car was rewashed to remove compound dust.
Was rushing so here's some pictures outside (sorry no sun shots - it was about to rain)
No sun - was about to rain
Interior was just given a quick wipe down with damp MF. Vacuumed and fabric protected with 303 Fabric Guard.
Wheels were treated with M16. Tires on Meguiars ASD. Wheel wells on Meguiars HyperDressing 4:1.
Tires were also properly inflated to proper psi. Battery replaced before all the detailing work was done. I was about to service the car (replace oil & filter) but it was late. Maybe after the new year.
Thanks for reading. Comments/suggestions/questions are welcomed.

ps: 12 more hours to the new year! Yee Haaa
