Any 1000 to 1300 grit compound or leveler is next in line.
If IP doesn't cut it, try Sonus SFX 1 (1200) with a medium cutting pad and up to a heavy if necessary
Others I use
Optimum compound or hyper with heavy cutter pad
States on the bottle 1500 grit but if you use a sonus das orange or LC yellow, it can really cut well

You could jump up to a more aggressive pad, of course. But assuming you've gone that route and still need more aggressive polish, if you want to stick to the same family of products, try Menz Power Gloss. Although I have not used it yet, it states it is good to 1000 to 1500 grit. Would be interested in hearing whether others like this product...

By far. I think I remember that they both have the same abrasives but PG has twice as many of those abrasives.

PowerGloss is what you want, I've had alot of success using it with the "Menzerna System". It is more agressive than IP but finishes out very nicely with very very minor hazing. Power Gloss followed by Final Polish/SRC equivalent (PO85RD?) will do the trick very nicely.
This is handy.

Also your problem might just be that you're trying to do more than is practical with a PC. For a lot of marring you really just need to use a rotary.

Yeah I tried that. There's reduction on the deeper swirls. I'm going to do my moms green Blazer, and it's really bad. That's why I asked for a more aggressive product other than IP.
As for my car. It's in real great shape. A few swirls, but that's really it. I want to do my hood. I'm sure the IP will take care of it. It's not noticeable unitl you see it under a light. Just want to have a more aggressive polish handy.... just in case.

Does anybody know for sure how the abrasiveness of Menzerna PG compares with OHC?
I want to use PG but I'm worried its far too agressive.

I can't compare it to OHC at the moment but can say that you don't have anything to be afraid of unless you attack the car with PG an a wool pad without the proper experience.
It's abrasive but it's not brake fluid(removes paint very shortly after contact).silvergray said:
Here's another chart similar to the one posted by veloboard. It has an extra column or two allowing a comparison between the Menzerna and Optimum products. Poke around and you'll see a pad chart too.
