Going to attempt to remove the scratches, swirls & water spots myself. I got some of the water spots off by hand with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound so we're not that bad.
What pads and products should I go with?

I'd like to stick with Meguiar's if possible. Should I go with M105 or skip right to M205? Do I even need to go that far or maybe start with a less abrasive product?

When I polish & wax by hand, I use Klasse, Meguiar's NXT Wax & Meguiar's Ultimate Polish. So I will be using them with the buffer too. I'm just looking for suggestions/advice on what products I should use to get rid of the swirls, water spots & scratches.

I just looked at the Meguiar's DA Correction System (1st time I knew this stuff existed) Now I'm wondering if I should use that correction system & finishing wax instead of going with the M205.

Hopefully I don't destroy any paint w/the buffer.

This will be done on a MAZDASPEED6. They are notorious for having thin paint.
 
I like the microfiber pads but personally haven't used the compounds/polishes (D300/D301) so 2 cutting and 2 finishing pads with either a combination of M101/M105 or D300 and finishing with M205. With the microfiber system you need to constantly be cleaning the pads though.

Make sure you keep your working time with each product under 45-60 seconds because the working time is pretty short and working it too long can lead to excessive dusting.

Always start with the least aggressive, so start with M205 4-6 passes see where that gets you.
