Yikes, you need to follow up your wool pad with a step or two to remove the wool marks or buffer marks.

Ahh I need to get a backing plate for it. I have some foam pads but the wool seemed to do a good job.

Yes, wool does an awesome job of cutting the paint. Follow up with 2 more steps of with lesser cut foam pads and you will really see a difference.

I agree with Dana on this...
Wool is great for cutting and you can produce some amazing gloss using both wool cutting and polishing pads but finishing with foam is the way to go...
Finishing with foam will remove swirls you might not be able to see without stripping the finish and because it will leave a more flat surface you will increase gloss, depth, clarity and D.O.I.
You will also perfectly prepare the paint for application of a wax or paint sealant.
I met a guy once, actually the Top Dog that runs the "Always in April Portland Swap Meet" which is a HUGE "Car Guy" event in Oregon each year.
I had a booth there a couple of years in a row selling detailing supplies and promoting my detailing business and at the end of one of the shows this guy, (can't think of his name), asked me if I would come by and look at a 1934 Ford he had completely restored and after painting it himself proceeded to sand and buff himself.
He said he thought he did everything right but the paint didn't pop like he thought it should for all the work he did, so I made a trip to his house and car collection and asked him to show me his steps...
He walked me through all his steps and everything was fine until he showed me his last step and that was to finish with a wool pad on a rotary buffer. The paint looked good except for some light haze caused by some light buffer swirls.
I gave him a soft foam finishing pad and asked him to polish out a section on the fender which he did, after wiping off the residue he smiled because the paint now looked like he hoped it would look, very clear and glossy...
After we were finished he told me ANY space I wanted at next years Swap Meet I could have, just let him know. That was very nice. When it comes to a huge swap meet like the Portland Swap Meet, location, location, location is so important.
At this time, finishing with foam is the way to go...

Depends, I've use Meg's D151 with only a wool pad on a black VW Jetta and had no issues with holograming.
So it depends on the product you use. I've never used M205, so I can't say.

I can guarantee it left some type of marring.

Guarantee is strong. So, I never saw any in any kind of lightning, so if its not visible, it doesn't matter, cause I'm not breaking out a microscope.
