So I picked up an 09 G8 GT last week, with the standard used car treatment: 50k worth of swirls, rock chips, and scratches. This is what I was looking after first wash and clay:
Since I also discovered a ton of random scratches deep enough for sanding to be required, in addition to proper rock chip repair, I decided not to bother with compounding for now. This is what I achieved with M205/white pad:
Medium and light swirls were removed and a brilliant shine returned. I had read about how thin and soft this paint is, and I have worked with M205/white pad plenty, but the level of correction from it alone on a DA surprised me.
