Both are very good, don't get me wrong, and work wonderfully... under the right conditions and paint. I've had great success with 205.
But really the go to is BOSS Fast Correcting Cream, Pinnacle Advanced Compound. I also had great success with HD Adapt 501 & 502.
I also used the Sonax 04-06 and really liked that as well.
I recently did a 16 Corvette with Boss Correcting Cream, and Fast Correcting Cream in some spots for spot buffs...
You need something with a longer work time. Also, did you prime your pad? How many section passes did you do? Did you do a test spot, one with 105, then another with a different compound (with a different technology) to compare the diff? I perish the thought if you did the whole car w/out a test spot and realized after 5 to 8 hours you didn't like the results....
I LOL'D!
I no longer buy M105. I shudder at the though of using it just sitting here - unless it's on a rotary with wool. I like it in that situation.
M100, or UC on the random orbitals was a huge sanity saver for me.
Since reading Todd Helme's article on M205, it's been a dream to use, and the results better than I could have imagined.

Re: Horrible DA grey scale marks?!
I recently did a 07 blue corvette, started with menzerna hc400, then sf3500 lc orange then white pads with 3401. I was thinking what am I doing wrong too cause there were still allot of rids and swirls left, I learned that the clear was just much harder than what I was used to dealing with, a second go round with nice slow 6 section passes and it all came out nicely.

Our 2004 Black finally got itself right with the world after Megs D300 w microfiber disc WG TSR on ORANGE LC flat foam and then a bit of WG FG on white LC flat foam. M101 & WG Uber on orange, then yellow LC flat foam were scoffed at by the GM paint. GG6.

If you only have m105, mist the area with water and clean the pad very well with air after every pass

SONAX compounds, polishes and cleaner/waxes use great abrasive technology. Completely bubba-proof. Even someone brand new to machine polishing can't help but get professional results. Plus no dusting, easy wipe-off.
Use with any tool.
I have a class at Mobile Tech Expo with Rob McCrary that will go over the SONAX brand of products. More info here,

Horrible DA grey scale marks?!
It's not the pads, I had a similar issue using M105 on black raven Cadillac
ATS. Switched over to Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover which solved the issue. Followed with Wolfgang Finishing Glaze and their sealant. All while using the Flex.
Also, Menzerna SF-3500 worked well, but for aggressive swirl remover the Total Swirl Remover is phenomenal.

Re: Horrible DA grey scale marks?!
The same thing happened to me a few weeks back working on an Altima.
Problem solved just by switching from my Flex 3401 to my Rupes 15.
I have no answer as to why the Rupes did the trick except maybe the larger throw was better for the paint I was working on.
Products used was the 3M line. 2&3 and the orange and white LC pads.

Re: Horrible DA grey scale marks?!
Agree with what Mike said.
Was the second pic before or after polishing?

What pad did you use with each tool?
