IF your pads really are 7" I`ll be surprised if they`re effective (or at least time-efficient) on the PCXP, and pads that big will 1) tend to quit rotating and merely "jiggle" (upside being "ineffective" usually = very gentle), and 2) be kinda hard to use on smaller areas without working adjacent areas that don`t need it.
I`ll also be surprised if the M205 is aggressive enough. Even if not trying for full correction (err on the side of caution! settle for "better" instead of flawless) I bet you`ll end up needing the M105. You might do the M105 by hand so its use is limited to the specific areas that need it, and so you have greater control over what`s going on. Yeah, that could take quite a while, to put it mildly. Then follow up with the M205, being sure to strip its Polishing Oils so you can see the true condition of the paint (easier said than done IME).
Be sure your Inspection Lighting is just right so you truly *know* what`s what and avoid surprises later after you`d thought it was all done.
And yeah, this site has a glitch that [messes] with apostrophes; it`s not your computer, it`s Autopia.org.
