You might end up liking those, and may decide to stock up on them.

Re: More Pads
They sell the Buff & Shine pads right here on AG--Buff and Shine 5.5 Inch Flat Foam Pads
Basically the same price as the six pack pricing. The red foam pad has no cut, it's just for applying LSPs.

Would they be for your own personal use, or are you doing to do it as a business?
In my limited experience, I need more compounding and polishing pads, because I'd rather switch them out than clean them as often. I also wouldn't use an equal number of finishing pads. For example, I'd probably do 4-4-2; two fewer pads, but more each of a cutting and polishing pad.
I use the Rupes system and I mostly use their blue compounding pad and yellow polishing pad.

How bad is the paint? What kind of polishes are you using? It all plays a factor.
If you are buying 12 pads Id probably go with 4 white, 4 blue, 2 orange and 2 black. Black is more versatile and will probably work just as well with wax as the red will.

I love Ultimate Polish with the blue pad.
Keep in mind that the Green, Blue, and Black foams are open celled. They tend to exhibit a cut of their own with the Green and Blue especially.
The Yellow, Orange, White, and Red are closed cell European Prepolymer. They tend to be smoother across the face as cut is achieved by their density, or their ability to more readily transfer pressure from the user to the paint.
I tend to prefer open cell pads, and gravitate towards the Green for cutting, Blue general polishing, Black Cleaner Wax, and Red for wax or sealant.
You'll notice that red pads are not available in the 4" and 6" sizes. Instead they offer a White super soft 100 pores per inch (ppi) fine finishing pad.
