Not aware of the product "Ceriglass", but would gather from the name of the product, it contains at least a percentage of cerium oxide, which is what is used to polish glass.
My suggestion is to use your Porter Cable with a hardest pad you have and the Ceriglass
product.
The key is this "keep it wet" while working the product.
Have a spray bottle of water handy and keep the product and work area "wet".
When it appears that you have obtained good results follow by cleaning and moving on to a softer pad and do the same as when you did the first step.
Yeah, there will be some clean up to do, as it will "sling" about, but a good washing will take care of that.
After you have worked the product, wipe clean using a 50/50 mix of IPA and water to remove any residue and check you work. (repeat as required)
The actual best sort of pad to do this sort of work is not available for a PC to my knowledge, I always use a "felt" buffing pad and a rotary buffer to work the cerium oxide paste-based product from C.R.Lawruance (sp) to remove as much as possible of glass marring.
You have to "let the abrasives" work, which is why you keep the area wet/lubricated in order to obtain results.
A word of caution here, if too deep, most can not be removed, only reduced.
