You'll need a velcro backing plate to swap different pads. I would get an orange Lake Country pad for the Menzerna IP and a white LC pad for the Menzerna FP.

Menzerna IP has a little more cut than Meg's # 80 ..
if you don't want to order online .. Meg's #80 followed by #9, then whatever last step product you wish to use .. synthetic or carnuba.. sealant or wax ..
if you have edge pads .. they will work fine .. depending on how bad your swirls are, I would use the following.
Edge orange pad with IP or #80
Edge Blue pad with IP or #80
Edge White pad with FP or #9
If you don't have a blue pad .. then use the orange again for the second application.
Edge makes a very good pad .. works as well as the Lake Country and Meg's pads do .. the one benefit of the edge pads is that ou can run the DA at full speed without any worry of the heat causing issues with the glue on the backing plate.. (since there is not one)
You can find the Meg's stuff at an Autozone, O' Reillys or Pep Boys .. Pep usually has the largest selection .. but sometimes NAPA will carry them also .. you can also check the Meguiar's website for a supplier in your area .. they will have a larger seleciton of everything, inclusing pads and backing plates .. just serch their site for dealer locator.
the 3M stuff is also available locally, but I am not famliar enough with it to recommend anything ..
you can't go wrong with either the Megs or Menzerna stuff .. and your pads are fine ..

the causing micro marring when tryign to use them for swirl remova, and they will do te same thing when trying to remove a carnuba product, due to bonnet loading ..
best bet is to get a good DA (a G100 or PC) and some good pads .. Lake Country or Meg's or Edge
