Paint Correction with DA; which pads?!

Looking to get the impreza sparkling, but im used to rock hard SEAT paint and scared to really attack the subarus as i know it'll be softer.
Ive got a range of menzerna polish, but had a go with a yellow 3m pad and its made it shine, but a few deeper marks remain.
Anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks!

Chemicalguys website
Hex pads are what I use and are rated one of the best on detailing world
I've used them for two years and would recommend them
Make sure you squirt a bit of lube on them first !!

this is the kit i purchased, but i only had surface scratches. i only needed 1 pass with the orange pads and the heavier cut polish.
