To answer some remaining questions...
SIP is much more abrasive than IP. IP is meant as a finishing polish for hard clear coats (GM, BMW, MB, etc.) and a go-to polish for softer clear coats (Honda/Acura, Porsche, etc.)
Typically one uses an Orange (or yellow/foamed wool in severe cases) cutting pad with SIP to get its full correcting ability. IP is mostly used with a white light polishing pad. However, it all depends on the job. You can use orange/IP, white/SIP, it all depends on what you're working with and your level of experience in using them.
Typically, you'll want to use higher speeds for polishing (5 or 6 on a PC) and lower speeds (2-3) with no-cut pads for applying the final sealant/wax.

damn that cadillac makes that beemer look like a camry. I hate the look of the style bmw's, horrible back lights, weak flowing lines but a nice grill. the CTS is just gorgeous, I can just sit and stare at the cow catcher style front grill for hours.
