1 to spread product.
3 for compounding and polishing, MAYBE 4 for a fine polish with a white (non cutting) pad.
2 for wax, sealant, and glaze
you should never have to use 5 or 6.
I also recommend picking up a yellow lake country pad just to have it.

Re: Makita buffer speed (ek4shizzle)
I've had good results with:
400 spread product
1500 cutting
1200 polishing
hand glaze
hand wax
I always keep two spray bottles handy. 1 with water. 1 with 50/50 iso alcohol and water. I always dampen the pad w/water half way through compound's
life. I tend to over dampen the pad during the polishing phase.
50/50 to remove stubborn compound splatters (especially on girlfriends stupid MAC makeup box...don't ask
)

you can always use spray detailer to prime your pad and whatnot

I'm sure he used rubbing alchohol.
but like I said, if you have any kind of spray detailer laying around, that is the preferred method.
