Depending on the paint and what you're trying to correct, you can end up doing a lot more than 4-5 passes no matter what you're using, and that includes M105 even with wool pads and/or aggressive foam cutting pads.

Would a yellow LC CCS pad be worth it? or Orange should do?

That's hard for anybody to answer as we just don't know about your situation. Yellow cuts more than orange. PFW cuts more too. Small 4" wool pads from Cyclo (made by Edge) cut quite a bit more and are about as aggressive as you can get with a PC.

I myself generally prefer using wool when orange foam won't do the job. The 3.5-4" PFW is pretty neat and IMO worth a try. It won't wow everybody, but it's still something you oughta try out just to see if it'll work for you. Note that PFW pads wear out pretty fast, so don't buy just one of them.

Also what polish would be recommended? I did the optimum polish and it was ok but not all that great with the PC.

Eh...I'm not a fan of Optimum polish either. Having finally tried M205, I found that it's almost as special/wonderful/etc. as M105, so I'd recommend that. Note that I was predisposed towards *not* being favorably impressed with M105/M205. I was a very hard sell...but having worked with them I'm convinced and I'm no longer recommending the other stuff I used to.
