Removing Swirls Black Paint
Talidan:
To keep it simple I'd go for a 2 stage with 105/205 if you want to buy locally Halfords do Ultamate compound & Ultamate polish it's basically the same thing ultamate compound is better imo than 105 less dusty, I use orange hex for 105 and back hex for 205.
Make sure you do a full decontamination so you don't risk anymore damage then af ultamate glaze and swissvax onyx or a sealant if your after more durability.

3m products for correction work for me, fast cut plus is great on VW paint IMO.
I have the 3 step 3m stuff
Fast cut plus (green bottle top/ green cutting pad)
Superfina (hello bottle top/yellow pad)
Ultrafina (both bottl top/blue pad)
They have there own pads for each step. As above also fully decontaminate, preparation is always priority with any kind of job
I do find the micro fibre pads by CG work great on VW paint as well, they cut really fast
Always wipe down with eraser or IPA after each correction step to show the true work before moving to the next and again before applying wax
Good luck and enjoy

What's the benefit of using both 105 and 205? I've just read on their website that they both have similar benefits e.g. Removed swirls. Could 205 just be using to both make glossy finish and remove swirls ?

Think of it like different grit sandpaper.
I can recommend Scholl Polish

Firstly depends on many factors, Yes they both do the same job but at differing levels. Also paint type makes a massive difference for example VW Paint is quite hard and requires a more aggressive cut such as Megs 105 to achieve any decent levels of correction, Paint on Japanese cars can be quite soft in comparison so you might be able to get away with using Megs 205.
So on VW paint you could just use Megs 205 and a White Hex Pad, This would be classed as a Single Stage and would clean the paint up and remove very Minor swirls/defects. However you would not remove any deeper swirls and once the sunlight hits the paintwork they will be visible.
Megs 105 has a more aggressive cut as does using the Orange Hex Pad too, This combination offers a better level of correction and will remove more severe swirls, Bird poop marks, Defects but the downside is you do not get a very good finish afterwords. So you use the 205 Combo to finish/refine.
Megs 105 = Compound/Cutting
Megs 205 = Refining/Finishing
Adding to the above the choice of Pad that you use also plays a big part, I think in the Hex-Logic range which I use their are approx 6 different pads available ranging from Heavy Cut to Finishing. You have to experiment with the different combinations to see which one works for you and gives the best level of correction.
I always say start out with the least aggressive and work your way up.
