Just got my Ultimate Detailing Machine and Wax

Just a quick question. It comes with a white pad in the package as well as a separate white, black, orange, and yellow pad. Just wondering if anyone knew particularly what each pad was for. The yellow and orange ones are bumpy surface (looks like a bunch of little mountains).

Also on a side note, I ordered the S100 motorcycle wax recommended in the detailing sticky (because it's half price of the regular P21S and they actually sent me the regular P21S anyway for the lower price. Just incase anybody wanted to try and get the same deal. I ordered from www.topoftheline.com

I THINK, but i'm not sure

black - finishing pad - for the least aggressive cut
white - polishing - one step below orange. i use this one on swirls and deeper dings to see if i can get em out. works pretty well
orange - cut - you'll rarely have to use this one because it's really really aggressive. paint shops use this one a lot!

no idea what the yellow one is though

Ahh many thanks to both of you. Guess I won't be using the yellow or orange on my car
