Default Porter Cable pad questions...

I think I asked about this already but I forgot lol...I have a Porter Cable and I have white and orange pads, what pads do I use with what product? I'm going to try and detail my mom's Solara this Saturday if the weather holds up. I already have a Meguiar's Clay Bar, Paint Cleaner, Polish, and Generation NXT wax...is there something else I should get or should I just go at it with what I have and the PC? Also, I'm assuming that the wax gets done by hand.

Thanks as always!

Do you know what brand the pads are? Im guessing ccs
if so use the orange for paint cleaner(if its recommended for machine use, im not sure)
wash
then follow it up with the white/polish.
and wax, by hand will do.

make sure to get some nice clean microfibers, vroom towels from target are my favorite

I can't remember what brand the pads are, but they have a sort of waffle type of pattern to them.
