What kind of pads should I use for these products?

Cars are dark in color, but none of them are in rough shape... just your regular swirls.

This is what I have for products:

IP
FPII
Prime
AJ Trigger

What pads should I get and how many of each?

Now I was going to use a orange light cutting pad for the IP, and do AJ by hand. But I have no idea what my best bet would be for FPII and Prime. How does a white polishing pad sound for FPII for a blue light polishing pad for the prime? Do I need a black finishing pad?


Any help would be great.

Basically I think you have got it all there and I would suggest getting a yellow cutting pad too just in case the orange pad is not strong enough to remove the swirls on your car.

Should I apply Prime with a blue polishing and black finishing pad..... or does it not matter?

Personally I don't find much different using the blue polishing or the black finishing pad, sometime I even apply Prime using hand with a foam applicator pad.
