The 3M polishes are great, Ultrafina would be one of my finishing choices alongside Megs 205, but i would definately opt for Megs 105 for a cutting compund.
very good result from where the camera was but i have a PC machine and am getting the PFW pad for the DA polisher and hoping i can get good results as comparable to ppl ive seen use the makita ... since i couldnt yet afford it .
That is a LC purple foamed-wool pad used for compounding. Wool has more cutting power and is typically used for areas needing more correction then a standard foam polishing pad.
but the wool pad will show even more holograms then a foam pad with a rotary, you will see the circle scratches from the machine later, and in dark color even more. I would use the 3401 Flex
That's correct for the most part but this is a 2-3 step polishing process, leaving the last 2 steps to refine the finish and take care of the holograms and swirl marks the wool pads leaves in the paint. 3401 is a great machine but for major correction for me nothing beats a rotary with something like the foamed wool pad used here.
Megs is great but 3M's stuff is much better. Its all I use now.

Yea it's a very aggressive polish, not a wax at all.
