Buy some Meguiars M105 and some 4inch cutting pads. The 4inch pads give far more cut and M105 has more than double the cut of SIP yet finishes down really well. The 4inch pads work great with M105 considering its a rotary only compound.
Hmm. I dunno... there's heaps of difference between IP and IP's bigger brother SIP. I'd certainly step up to SIP from IP first before going as aggressive as a true compound like M105. That is a *huge* jump in cutting power. But it could very well be needed. Nothing wrong with trying out the least aggressive stuff first, though.

I definitely agree with the pad size, though, you really do need the four inch pads for max correction on a PC. Some might disagree with this, too, but I wouldn't ever use anything stronger than a four inch LC orange pad with a PC. If you do need more cutting power, step up the polish once you are using an orange pad. The yellow pads can just do nasty things to your paint... let the polish do most of the work and stay with the more gentle orange pad.
