Question Which sonus pads to use with Menzerna IP/FP?

I'm asking this in preparation for my fall detail. I may need to buy more pads for this job. Currently, I have one set of Sonus DAS pads for the PC.

My paint is in decent shape, some light swirls but overall it's not bad. I plan to use Menzerna IP and FP prior to Zaino this fall.

Which Sonus pads do you folks recommend for use with IP and FP on paint in fairly good shape? And how many pads of each kind should I have on hand to do the job without having to clean them in the middle of the job?

Thanks very much for the help!

Orange and Green respectively. Two or three of each would be best, but many get by with just one of each.

I use Powergloss with an orange pad and PO85RD via green. They are pretty similar to IP/FPII, so you should do ok.

Thanks for the advice folks. It's always good to hear from multiple people. I ordered another of the green and orange pads just to make sure I have enough to get the whole job done.

I don't have any 4" pads, might have to get some of those too one day...
