Which pad do you guys prefer? What do you recommend (2011 with swirls from washing/drying and a new 2015 that I will polish and wax upon arrival)?

He the same problems with a black car. Real heavy swirl marks. Used VSS from Chemical Guys with a orange pad sealed it with Jet seal and a black pad came back over with a microfiber applicator and BlackLight glaze.

is this a velcro/hook and loop pad. is this the pad i would buy to remove light swirl marks on a new clear coat finish? thank you

The orange pad is for swirl removal generally with something like m 105. The white pad is for polishing to bring out the shine with something like m 205 but it does have a light cut for fine swirl marks.

Do these pads stick to a orbital sander?

They have a Velcro backing. The pads are the "furry/loop" part. You need the backing plate (most are yellow) that attaches to the orbital sander.

how do you clean them

This all depends on if you just want to clean them, or clean and rejuvenate them. If you just want to clean them and aren't worried about the foam pads tearing or wearing out then a good (mild) dish soap like Dawn will clean them. However a good Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner will do so much more. By using a Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner you will reduce friction so the pad will be less susceptible to tearing. Lubricated pads cut and polish with less wear and tear on the pad. The light conditioning lubricants inside add extra surface protection by reducing dry friction while polishing. A good Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner works with lubricants in the products you are using, providing extra needed lubrication to protect against micro-marring and the possibility of burning paint through friction. I use the Chemical Guys BUF_301_16 Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner ( https://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Guys-BUF_301_16-Polishing-Conditioner/dp/B0040MGUKI/ref=pd_cp_263_3?pd_rd_w=9EAYa&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=9AY1HK00EBJ7VGF63EXQ&pd_rd_r=e1e9d9e0-2ea5-4850-a9f7-a88ed6374fad&pd_rd_wg=Z4aLG&pd_rd_i=B0040MGUKI&psc=1&refRID=9AY1HK00EBJ7VGF63EXQ ) and it works great. Cost about the same as the Dawn soap alone does but works so much better and the pads last longer with it too. Cleans microfiber cloths and wool pads as well (do not use regular soaps on microfiber cloths because they will get gummed up). Once the pads have been cleaned shake them a few times to purge any water left inside the pad, and then let them dry in the sun for a few hours (velcro side facing down). Once dry you can then put them back into the plastic bag they came in, but do NOT put them in the bag wet or mold will form and ruin the pads.
