If this is for your hobby (not detailing for money), don't bother with getting 2 cutting pads. Even if you have a car that's been neglected, you will only really need a cutting pad the first time. You just won't use it very often at all unless you're detailing a lot of cars. When I got my PC, I got 2 LC cutting, 2 polishing and 2 finishing. I wish I'd gotten 1 cutting, 3 polishing and 2 finishing. I still have 1 cutting pad sealed in plastic. If you like applying LSP's by hand, then you don't really even need the finishing pads (but I've found applying LSP's by using the PC is super easy).

If I was going to go the sonus pad route, I don't know exactly what counts I'd recommend as there are 4 levels to choose from instead of 3. Definitely not more than 1 of the orange cutting though, in my opinion.

It is a passtime, but a few cars will be done (over 10 between relatives and friends). I will take your advice.

I also love applying the LSP by machine. Maybe not that faster, but surely a much more even coating.
