Re: 2 passes with M105/Wool, no luck...

Go ahead and try this:

1. Prime the pad THOROUGHLY.
Rub it in with your hand. It'll take a bit more than you're used to applying.

2. Apply a bead of M105 to the surface, pull it in, and polish at low speed (1000 rpm).
Try 2-3 passes, or until the M105 is just starting to dry.

3. Using a fine mist, spray the surface with water.
Do not add additional product- Just re-polish with what's already in the pad.

I think you'll see a 50% improvement in the cut, but you'll probably see an increase in swirling (it can be easily removed).

After trying this method (count it as one cycle), spur the wool pad (blow it clean with compressed air if you have it).

I won't PROMISE a better result, but I am pretty sure you're going to GET a better result.
Interesting. Does this work for foam pads too (or maybe you were inferring it did, but this thread is about 105/wool, so I'm assuming that is what you were talking about) ?

I'm liking M105 with a polishing pad, but when it drys up I start getting really bad buffer hop (combined with my lack of experience with the rotary). I've also found that you have to have a CLEAN pad (ie. change every 2 panels), or else I get bad hop plus plenty of holograms.
