Have you always finished with the 205? Have you applied anything after that or just did the 105/205 and done?
Just trying to get more info to get you a better answer from those that would know.

105 isn't exactly the most user friendly product. I had issues with it especially on plastic parts. Probably has something to do with the flash time
Are you sure you are buffing out all of the product after each step? I talked to my friend a bit about it, and the only thing that came to him off the top of his head was there is some product left behind since it happens after being left in the sun. What wax/sealant do you use?
M105 can (and does) leave a haze due to its aggressive nature. M205 "should" clear up that haze and give you a clear finish.
What machine, pad machine speed, arm speed are you using? Have you tried Carpro Reflect? I like it for jeweling the paint.
I use Carpro Eraser to clean and inspect the sections and insure that all polish and polishing oils are removed before LSP.
Personally no longer use M105. I like M101. I believe M101 cuts just as good but leaves a much nicer finish after polishing.
Did I mention that M101 is MUCH friendlier to work with?

Maybe i wasnt buffing it all out? Or maybe a combination of not buffing it all out and using too much? Idk its just so frustrating and this is definitely the last black car i will ever buy. I use blackfire wet diamond for sealant and I think the wax is black sun but im not positive. I will have to look into the m101

I.E. PC 7424xp, Lake Country Orange 5.5" flat foam, Machine speed 5, 1"-2" per second with medium downward pressure to insure pad has a slow rotation.
You may wish to try Meguiars Ultimate Compound and Megs Ultimate Polish available locally.
If you're looking at trying some new products out, take a strong look at HD Cut and HD Polish
I personally use a drop of 205 with my 105 to cut down on dusting and help keep the product working longer.
THIS - or Menz FG4000.
