Try D300 you might like it better. More cut than UC and less dusting than 105.
I am glad that some one has asked this question. I only use Menzerna products!
So I will start with what they can do and how they work.
Being DAT they really do well at finishing out great. If you are into one stepping it, Menzerna is for you! I love DAT polishes because you physically see the polish breaking down from a white/grey paste, to a clear oily substance on the paint.
Now when it comes to your machine. DA, forced rotation, rotary, these polishes are compatible with all and outstanding results can be achieved.
Menzerna Polishes are great on both ceramiclears and acrylic clears. Only difference is, acrylics tend to take a less aggressive product.
I will give you a run down here on my experience with these products:
PG-1000: As far as a compound goes, this stuff cant be beat. Although I do not like it very much do to the fact it is more aggressive than I need quite often. It also requires a polishing step after, the paint will be hazed.
FG-400: Probably my favourite compound on the market due to the fact during its cutting phase, it is very aggressive and can polish almost anything out, then it gets a tad more gentle allowing it to finish out like a polish. This is great at one stepping, but on some softer paints, a more gentle combination is required. I buy this by the gallon
IS-1500: It is an incredibly strong and aggressive polish. I have used it in place of a compound in many cases. This polish will eat through 1500 grit sanding marks and really shines with the Orange pad.
PF-2500: Great all round polish and very powerful. Many times when teamed with an orange pad it will cut out 2000 grit sanding marks. On a white pad, it is my go to one-stepper for both ceramiclears and acrylics.

SF-4000: I use this as my jeweling polish and my final step polish for pretty much everything. I find it works best with white, red, and gold pads
SF-4500: This is my favourite polish expect for one thing, AG does not sell them in Gallon size! I find even though this is a nano polish and has very fine abrasion levels, it still has a decent cut to it. Especially with a white pad, you can use it to remove light swirls and marring. For two-stepping, I go FG-400 -> SF4000 (only because AG doesnt sell it bulk!)
Here is what it can do on a white pad.
Finishing Glaze: I actually bought this by accident and decided to try it out. I am not a glaze guy, I feel it is cheating tbh, but I actually really like this. I recommend it after 4000/4500, it adds a touch more gloss and when finished with a wax, its like a mirror on any colour paint.
Power Lock: I use this as my base paint sealant in my Level 1 & 2 packages. I like this more than WDGPS because its a little thicker, making it easier to apply, and also I find it is more durable. I makes things really look good.
CL: Now I have never used this. I am not a fan of liquid carnubas, but from the results I have seen online, it looks great. Although I wont comment on it too much due to the fact I havent used it.
Now I know I missed a couple in there, but I am listing what I use on all cars. Everything from single stage classics (polishing lacquer is a reaaaaaaally hard task), to super soft acrylic clears on Infinitis, and tough as nails ceramiclears on Mercs.
Hope this school'd you
