choungsgay....woo woo! another dewalt user. congrats! i use a dewalt myself and i swear by it. just make sure to practice, because buffer trails are more common with rotarys and so is burning the paint. 
make sure to pick up some 3m perfect it 3000 swirl remover! it works wonders with those perfect it pads, but i also agree with wanabe, get some new pads.
id have to feel the lambswool, but i usually use the wool pads for extreme cutting, all of the foam pads are for light to moderate cutting and polishing. be sure to visit buffandshine.com for some really good pads for the dewalt!

Thanks for the site Hankook. I've been looking for a while for pads for the dewalt but not many sites had much of a selection. BTW, have you ever tried pads like the lake country or edge 2000 pads?
Thanks in advance.

Make sure to clean all those pads really well before you use them. They all look pretty dirty. Once they're clean and dry store them in a Ziploc bag so that they stay that way.
I've not used a rotary myself, but if you do some reading over on Autopia most operate the machine between 900 and 1500 RPM. It's pretty rare that you hear of anyone operating the machine higher than this.

Choungsgay,
congrats on the machine great machine I'm sure you got a great deal.
As for the pads I would start fresh and get some new ones the ones. The ones you got look a bit beat up.
I would have to agree with everyone on this post. Start off easy as well maybe get some test panels or some beaters or some friends that don't mind or better yet some enemies
As for the edge system let me know I have 6 inch pads in stock and the adapters.
I have some demo 7 or 8 inch pads as well. Hit me up I can give you a great deal.
As for the Dewalt I have one for sale sorry to hijack
