I'm not concerned with the cut. I'm more curious if you will get less marring from Menzerna power gloss because it's a diminishing abrasive vs. non diminishing?

If you use both of them with an aggressive pad they will both mar pretty much the same. Now if you use a less aggressive pad with both, 105 will mar less.
 
Power Gloss is extremely aggressive, and should have a bit more bite than 105. I find Power Gloss somewhat hard to work with because it dries out quickly and dusts like crazy.

I am curious to try the 105/205 combination myself but I can't comment on the Megs side yet.
 
M105 on the right, left side uncorrected

Same type of pad was used (yellow cutting).
 
I like them both . You can get good results with both .
They need to be followed up with finer polishes.
On my red vert , I used the power gloss on the back bumper followed up with sip then 85 rd .

Menzerna is the product of choice for me and my shop, if the drying out to quick is bothersome, try priming the pad with distilled water, this will allow you to have longer working time, as for dusting...it is annoying, but you need to do an IPA wipedown and then re-wash, the results are certainly well worth it !!

Okay. I remember seeing a video, where the car was wiped down with a 50/50(water/alcohol) solution.

What is the purpose of wiping down the whole car down with alcohol; after a polish?

To remove any of the oils from the polish left behind. This will give you your true finish. The oils in the polish will fill a little and give you a false reading of the finish.
 
I like M105 better for correcting, and menzerna polishes for finishing(ie. 106FA and 85 RD). Though power finish does a pretty good job as a one-step, and I still use SIP it just takes longer.

Does power finish work best with a certain color pad?

It isn't the color, all colors have the same defects. Some cars have hard clear and some have soft clear.

Not the color of the car..lol...the color of the pad with power finish.

Hard paint= try orange

Soft paint= try white
