Meguiars Sandpaper...

The only place I could find the Meguiars Sandpaper was online. I use autogeek.net

According to our 3M rep, Meguiars was just purchased by 3M. You should still be able to find at any auto paint supply store for now.

The name on the back of the sandpaper is Nihonkenshico Ltd. It's Nikken Siliconcarbide Water Proof Paper.

The best paper I could find in my area was 1500 grit 3m. I've used 1500 on light colored cars, but wanted to go lighter on a dark vehicle. It's a little more work, but the finish is very good (as you can see in the pics).
