I have two early 2000`s VWs with lots of swirls and some minor rust. Some failed clear, too. I sanded, primed, painted and clear coated the worst rust. I`d like to smooth these out and polish.

What are some, reasonably priced 5.5 inch pads I can use with a HF da buffer? Orange and white? How many of each do I need?

I have 3M Advanced Compound, 3M Glaze and some Maguiar`s no. 26 yellow wax. Would these work? If not, what should I try?

Thank you very much.
