Default Polish and Pad Selection for Detailing

Ello


I'm going around to clean up a Mates Honda Type R with my DA after he was impressed with the result I had with my Fez.
But I know that the Honda paint is alot softer than my Ford, so I was after some suggestions on what Pad and Polish I should use please

I have

Compound, Polish and Finishing Pads
Along with

# Menzerna Power Finish
# Final Finish
# Power Gloss
# Super Finish

I was a little nervous when Polish my Fez so I only used the lowest correction, Yellow? Finish Pad and Final finish. Which did remove a majority of the small swirls. But I could of likely used a Polishing Pad for better result.
Overal I'm not that great at picking a Pad and or a Compound
What would you suggest for my Mates TypeR? He only had a few minor swirls caused by cleaning it with a Bucket and Sponge

Thanks to everyone who helped me pickup a DAS-6 Pro aswell
It's perfect!

Thanks for reading

Menz Final finish on 3M Blue pad, I used to own an EP3 and can tell you now its mega soft paint, take care when doing it and you will get great results, mine was Nighthawk Black and after id polished it you could see the blue pearl in the paint, results were well worth it!!, hope you get on alright bud, (puts some pics up when your done)
