    Is this your first time buffing paint? Also, which MF's are you using?

    Have you cleaned your pads during the buffing?

    No it's Not, and I'm using the thick colorful ones from Wal-Mart, I think they're by auto spa or something like that.

    @alxblade yeah I Used multiple pads throughout the car.

    @ekennet do I have to use m205? Because the only bottle available for sale near me is the big 40 dollar one. Can i use ultimate polish or something along those lines?

    I agree with others who have said you should have followed with a polish.....I recently did a one step on a 2013 G37 (black) and I found the clear to be on the soft side.....when doing test spots I found using anything with more cut than a medium polish and or a light cutting pad would leave marring...ending up using an orange light cutting pad and an AIO polish...attached are some before and afters on the G37 I did

    To answer your question yes ultimate polish is fine. It is derived from M205. Also get some better towels. Cheap towels can marr the paint.
