Great looking job! Congrats!
What color pad did you use with the M105? Just wondering how aggressive you went.

Took about 8 hours. Power Finish is great for a second step with green lake. But to remove swirls and scratches you need to get more aggressive thing like MG 105 or Menzerna Intensive Polish with orange or yelllow pad

Agree with getting more aggressive for swirls and scratches.
My recent experiences and experimenting shows that if you use an orange pad with M105 it is way more aggressive than the Menzerna Super Intensive Polish with same orange pad.
You also need to remember that M105 is pad sensitive, the more aggressive the pad the more aggressive the polish.
If you rub M105 between your fingers you can actually feel the very fine grit.
The M105 is awesome stuff, at least from my recent experiences having used it on the C63 for minor scratches on the front hood and some great results as well on my wife's 14 year old Toyota Avalon.
