Default Sonus SFX1/2/3

Anyone used these? I have the SFX1 and 2 that I havent tried yet. I was thinking about picking up the 3 but is it too mild? and is the SFX1 too abrasive? Maybe with the wrong pad it could be but what about with just your standard orange or white pad.

Is SFX3 any good for removing swirls or just touching up a car thats already in really good shape?

Sorry for the noob detailing questions!

Yes I did search and browse the stickies but I didn't see anything this specific!

SFX is good stuff, but I believe that you dont have bad enough swirls to use 1..Stick with 2 and 3, especially if you are new to it! Use a cutting pad with 2 and a white polishing pad with 3..you will be happy

Orange is pretty abrasive. Yellow is for crazy swirls/scratches/marring.
