The owner just wanted me to see what I could do, but I was eager to try out the new M105/M205 combo. I mainly used M205, but took some extra time to see what I could do with the wool pad (my first time on a customer car). This was my second time using M205 on either machine and I have to say it was a joy to work with and easy to figure out how to get the best results.
The owner's first reaction was: "Holy *%#&!" That was essentially the desired reaction!
Here was my process:
Rotary/M105/So1o light wool pad on horizontal panels
Rotary/M205/yellow polishing pad/about 1300-1400 RPM and down under 1000 for final pass
DA/M205/black finishing pad/speed 3 (I have now learned it works better on some paints to use speed 5)
DA/black finishing pad/NXT 2.0
This car had 15x,xxx miles on it and was a swirled mess. I certainly didn't get everything out and wasn't trying to, but it was night and day. The before pics of the trunk are what the whole car looked like.

This one unfortunately shows some wax residue. It was quite overcast when I finished, and I couldn't see it in my garage. I also sometimes have a hard time getting it all off:
