Wood Trim Fine Swirls

I have a lot of fine spiderweb like swirls on my wood trim on my 2 week old 09 e90. I have seen suggestions to use either Klasse All In One Polish and Glaze or Menzerna Final Polish II. I was reading about the Zaino Z-14 Plastic Magic Cleaner & Polish, would it be a good product for removing swirls from the Wood trim or should I stick to one of the first two I mentioned?

I'm interested in the answer to this too. My brand new E90 has some very fine swirls in the wood too. Really only noticeable under direct/bright light, but I'd like to remove them too.

Do I really need to use M105 Ultra-Cut Compound before applying M205? I assume that is just good advertising and I can use my own cleaning solution beforehand.

For polishing the wood trim? No.

M105 would be a bit strong for wood trim IMO. I would use something like Menzerna 106FF/106FA/FPII to remove the swirl.

What's the difference between Super Finish 106FA and the other 2 products? I was looking in autogeek's website and they only seem to have 106FA in their product comparison table.

I recommended M205, but he asked an unrelated question about M105. I agree, M105 would be too aggressive for wood trim.
