yea

DA's are so much easier to work with. Luckly I only buffed the side of the car were the damage was. So I just have to redo the driver side front fender, door, rear quarter and rear bumper.

I've used the CCS pads and I really like the flat pads over them. The flat pads seem to work faster for me but I seem to be killing pads left and right, esp my orange one. The kit from DD seems like the best deal so I'd get it from there.

Put in orange, and then put it in a note on checkout you want to exchange orange for a yellow. He should allow you to do so, but YMMV
