Would a more aggressive pad be advised?

I wouldn't use a wool pad with the PC - wool has very high cutting ability and the action of the PC isn't able to make full use of it. Worse still, it doesn't have the power to overcome it either and you run the very real risk of just putting more marring in the finish this way. I'd rather see you use a polish/cleaner/compound/etc that offers high cutting ability with a great finish at the same time. Sounds like a tall order, I know, but it's coming.
