Default Another M105 Question/Alternatives

I've read the comments in the other Megs 105 thread but wanted some slightly more specific opinions. I'm using the Flex DA with Sonus SFX pads and Menz IP. Spcifically, for heavy swirls and scratches I use the Yellow SFX pad which is their most agressive.
I use about 2 or 3 pea sized dabs of IP and feel that I'm getting the IP to break down properly. I break it down at speed 3 or 4 and then spritz a little water on the pad and go over the same area and break it down again at a higher speed. Usually up to about 5 or 5 1/2. Sometime finish at 6. Depending on the results I may spritz more water on the pad and go a 3rd time. I think I'm getting about 80 to 90% correction depending on the paint and condition.
Having said all that, what I'd like to get opinions on is what other combinations people think might give me better results. I know this is purely each persons opinion. I don't plan to go to a rotary at this time.
I was thinking about M105 as a more aggresive product but I'm looking for any/all suggestions before I try something. I also wonder about another pad type. People talk about wool pads and 3M pads but these don't seem readily available in Canada or are they? I get most of my stuff from Chris at eShine now.
So I'd like some thoughts on this and thanks in advance.
