IME, 205 doesn't always finish down as well as I'd like, esp on black. Add Menzerna 85rd to your list, and use it with its own black pad.

yes, def add p203s and/or super finish to your list. 105 is a very abrasive polish and rarely finishes down nice enough to not have to use 205 which doesnt finish down as nice as menzerna products. BUT-105/205 is a great duo for 2 step polish jobs. otherwise you have perfectly sized pads, a good backing plate , machine and such. before each polishing step, use a polish oil removing spray-i use menzerna's.
