IP on a white pad will work fine. You can usually go up in aggressiveness with the same pad, just not down. Some big abrasives may be left in the pad from a compound that will not go well with a lighter polish.

On another note, be careful if you do use an orange pad with a rotary. I don't like them at all and I will definitely recommend wool pads. The run cooler, cut faster, and control easier. It may be a good idea to research wool a little. I usually use LC white, black, or blue pads -read soft-. If I need more cut i will use wool.

I would try IP with a white pad first though.
