Menzerna S203 or PO106FA?

Personally, if you're going for a 1 step polish, Menzerna PO203S is the better option IMO. The small amount of micro marring or slight haze that could be left behind from more aggressive polishes is easier to deal with than seeing swirls and other imperfections. Granted, you probably won't get a perfect finish out of 1 coat of any polish, but you're better off removing more imperfections than having a slightly glossier finish IMO. With the proper technique, you can finish down PO203S quite fine, just shy of PO106FF and remove more imperfections. Will you be applying the polish with a buffer? If so, consider a green or white lake country pad when using the 203S.
Hope this helps.

How bad is the marring/haze if i just use 203 + white pad for dark color car? I actually don't know what it looks like.
Detailed imagine, what's the black pad for? The package i order came with white and black pads

What products do you have right now? The gray pad is a finishing pad. Say you use the power finish 203 with a white pad. You could then use 106FA or 85RD with the gray pad to jewel the paint up after the 203. If you used a orange pad with the 203, then the 106FA with a gray pad, you would notice the difference.
Try the 203 with the green pad(in-between the white and gray). If that doesn't work try it with the white pad.

The 203 does a good job as a one step. If you use the 106 after that, on a gray pad. You will be taking that paint to the next level. You can go to autopia.org or autogeekonline.net for other tips. Dark colors need more work. I'm just saying if your going to do it, do it right. All you need on the white car is the 203, unless the visible defects don't come out.

What would be the second step if I start with 106FA?

Black pad would be used for applying a finishing polish finer than PO203S or applying a glaze or sealant. Blue pads are pretty much in the same boat as far as what they are used for, but I always will apply a sealant with a blue pad.
loudog2 - the green pads from Lake Country we sell are between a white pad and an orange pad, so more cutting than white.

I tried the green LC pads from Autogeek. They are between the gray and the white. I know there are 2 different versions of the LC green pad. I should've specified.

After polishing I always wash the car to get the dust off. Espeacially in the stuff stuck inbetween the door , trunk and hood. A sealant is not necessary, but it is an added protection. Most sealants last longer than waxes. A lot of people like the look of a sealant over carnubas. It's all a matter of opinoin. I use sealants under my wax in the winter for added protection up here in chicago. In California you can get away with a nice carnuba.
