Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
I haven't used the Griot's machine but I have PCs and a Flex 3401. I like the Griot's orange pads- more aggressive than most regular polishing pads but milder than other manufacturers' orange light cut pads.

M105 and M205 work fine with the Griot's pads in my (somewhat limited) experience. The M205 is just a *little* gentle with that pad for some correction but finishes out very nicely.

BUT...they work best for me via Flex 3401. Via PC I get the "the pad's too big" effect where I can't put much pressure on the machine lest it merely "jiggle" and I dunno how the Griot's machine will behave in that regard.

FWIW, I never liked the Griot's Machine Polishes much though the MP3 did come in handy a few times when I needed something especially mild (never tried MP4). The MP2 worked a *LOT* better via Cyclo than it did via PC/~6" pad but would probably work OK via PC/4".

Those big pads just never work well for me on anything except a Flex 3401 or a rotary. But the Meguiar's polishes should work better for you than the Griot's ones.
