Pad dependent. M105 on a white pad with a few passes might be all that is needed, with M205 finishing on a black pad. OR M205 on a white/orange pad might be enough to remove the damage, then follow that up with M205 on a gray pad for a finishing polish. M205 has a decent amount of cut for a finishing polish, on softer paint systems it should bring your paint to a level where no compound is needed. A test spot and working with good lighting is probably your best bet to determine what is needed if your looking for 90% or better correction. If you want to make it real easy and one step it, M205 and a white polishing pad 4-6 section passes will get the paint looking probably very nice for 80% of people. Depends on how far you want to take it and how long you want to be out there working on the car. I am hoping this is making sense, feel free to hit me up if any ?. Either way I would strongly advice a thorough water and IPA(look online for cut percentages), or eraser wipe down before applying a coating
