The one that comes with the UDM is the DAS white pad. Both are polishing pads but it does depend on the polish you're using.
DAS White (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/udm-2010.html):
The Ultimate Detailing Machine DAS ScratchBusterâ„¢ Foam Polishing Pad removes paint scratches (scratches in the clear coat), water spots, bird and insect damage, heavy oxidation and other forms of minor paint damage. Use with your favorite fine-cut compound on the Ultimate Detailing Machine Model 1000 or Porter Cable 7424 car polisher to bring your car’s paint back to life.
The ScratchBuster polishing pad cuts like a heavy compounding pad (when used with a fine cut compound), yet polishes out to a near flawless finish (when used with a final finish polish). Depending on the cut of the polish, it performs like two completely different foam pads.
The exclusive DAS Polish Pocketâ„¢ allows you to load more polish on the pad for longer polishing without polish sling. You and your car stay clean, avoiding a lengthy cleanup after polishing.
Sonus White (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-sfx-2fp.html):
A gloss-enhancing, swirl-reducing polishing pad for the regular care of paint with minor imperfections.
Use with Sonus Enhance (SFX-2) or other “swirl-remover� machine polish formulas. For use with a dual-action polisher or a rotary buffer in conjunction with a 5� Velcro backing plate.
NOTE: With heavy polishes, this pad may be aggressive when used at speeds in excess of 1,000 RPM (rotary) or 3500 OPM (dual-action). To prevent paint burns, work at slower machine speeds. Keep machine moving and check your work often

How much correction are you trying to do? The SFX-2 is the more agressive polish while the SFX-3 is the finish polish (and I nice one at that). If you have paint that needs major correction you may want a stronger polish - Optimum Polish, Menzerna IP/SIP, XMT, etc. Can you post a pic?
