I'm buying a makita 9227...help with pad/ wool selection...

[slammin86]

Well I have decided it is time to upgrade from the pc to a makita 9227. Me and a friend are doing some paintwork on my car next week and we need something that will quickly and effectively get sanding scratches out of fresh clear.

My friend has buffer experience from when he worked at a paint/ body shop, but has always dealt with the stuff they bought him. I plan to make one big order from autogeek tomorrow so I need to get everything straight.

Here are the menzerna polishes I already have.
PO83Q
PO106FA
PO85RD

I plan to buy Menzerna Power Gloss Compound (PG 1000) S34A to use with a wool pad.

Is the wool pad that comes with the makita worth using or do I just buy a new one? If I need a new one please give me suggestions...

I would also like to get 3 pads to use with the compounds that I already have. I am looking at CCS 8.5" pads shown here but am unsure on the color. Lake Country 8.5 Inch CCS Pads 6 Pack - Your Choice!

I was thinking the following:
Orange to go with the PO83Q
White to go with the PO106FA
Gray (or maybe blue) to go with the PO85RD

These choices seem ok? Would gray or blue be more appropriate for the PO85RD? What wool pad to go with the powergloss S34A?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Any feedback here? I need to place this order early today so I can beat their shipping cutoff.

Would 7.5" pads be better than 8.5?

Then this wool pad?
