Looking for Advice on Pads

:Active_Foam_Cannon: Tool/Reusable

1st time undergoing clay, cut, polish on a 2023 black GMC Sierra with a ton of swirls and surface scratches. Looking for recs on which pads and products to use on what is supposedly a very soft paint.

Been watching a lot of tutorials online and was leaning toward Lake Country HDO pads but am now thinking they may be too aggressive for my paint. Any advice / recs are greatly appreciated!
