On the Estoril blue e36 M3 I seem to need a 2 step 105/orange pad, 105/black pad. Even hard water spots are tougher to polish out on this car.

One thing I definitely noticed is that the clear coat on BMWs tend to be a bit harder than on Acuras.

Any tips for polishing a clear bra would be great.
You got 95% correction using Megs 205 and a white pad? I'm assuming your paint was in good nick to start off, right? I had to use 105 and a yellow pad to put a dent in my wife's 135i.
