I'm not the best but, from my research:
Orange pad for compounding
White pad for polishing
and if needed, red pad for waxing.
All of these being lake country pads.

For serious compounds, I'd use yellow.
If all you have are minor swirls, I'd get orange and white. I skip the finishing pads sometimes cause I do the sealant by hand... Definitely Lake Country, though.
