You should follow the compound with a finishing polish such as M205.

I dont know the best about the different type of polishes but from my understanding is that M105 is a heavier cutting compound than M205, so if M105 didnt take away the imperfections I dont understand how M205 would do that.

Depending on the hardness of the paint, micro marring and/or DA haze can occur with an aggressive compound and pad. A finishing polish can take care of that micro marring and/or DA haze on top of adding gloss to the paint.
Perhaps this is what you are experiencing as Infiniti paint can be on the soft side of things.

What pads did you get and which one's did you use?

Re: Detailed my black car but imperfections didn't go away fully.
Check to make sure you don't have scratch shield paint. Look on the underside of the hood on the passenger side towards the cowl. There may be a sticker there indicating you do. This type of paint is known to look ok once it is corrected but revert back to a damaged state once the self healing properties do what they do.
I also agree that following up the compound with something lighter such as M205 is necessary. M105 is actually probably overkill on a black Infiniti, you shouldn't need something that aggressive for this type of paint.

That was allegedly a refresh, but since it had new front end and hood an redone interior I don't quite get that. I traded in my first gen for this one. This was the 2003 Supercharged SE / Rockford Fosgate Stereo etc.
The story goes, I took my wife in for a new Altima and this was sitting in the showroom and I had to have it. So I traded my 2001 in
As much as I liked it, I like the 28 mpg average I get from my Rogue much much better. That thing was a gas pig.
