Looking at pads and 3m came up yellow green blue which one best for the vectra paint either buy one or buy all 3 or buy monza pads but there not waffle also will be using megs 80 and possibly 83

I don't use 3M but usually the colour code is for th different pad functions, hard cut, soft cut, polish only (no cut), does it not state which?

They are terrible when used via a DA, I only use 3m pads with rotary. You will struggle to beat CG's pads for a DA.

I don't use 3M pads, I use the hexlogic ones. Main three I use are orange (medium cutting) for cutting back paintwork, blue (medium polishing) for polishing after cutting and black (finishing) for final polishing and sealing/glazing (although I usually do the sealant/glaze by hand).

Edit: CG = Chemical Guys, they make the hexlogic pads

Chemical guys hex pads. White or orange for vectra paint, and black for finishing. Pretty much the same as Ian.
