    I did call them before posting here but not "knowing" anybody it was a cold call, I was given # of rep, left a message, and nobody called me back. So I posted on forums. Now that I have some name I will try again.

    God, I haven't been there in ages. I completely forgot they exist.

    They go as fine as #4000. They’re typically used with a pneumatic DA sander but they can also be used by hand. The cloth and foam construction allows water to flow through them.
    Also, one of cars I have in mind has body lines with edges like BMW Z4 does. Thought of working around them with paper makes me (newb) subconscioulsy uncomfortable.

    Thing that I know nothing about is grades though. I mean Abralon has 1000, 2000, and 4000. Unigrit has 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000.

    Is jump from 2000 to 4000 in Abralon too big? And from 1000 to 2000? I assume if they felt something in between is needed they would be making it but I would like to hear your input.

    If I get Abralon would I still want some of Unigrit? If yes why?

    OK, can somebody tell me what's up with detailing guys? I mean every single one I meet is great person from what I see. Today I had a pleasure to meet Kevin Brown and see some incredible work he is on. Mike Phillips we all know. Then other guys, both here and on other forums.

    What is it about detailing guys that makes them so polished? Err ... I think I just answered my own question (J/K)

    Kevin, I said in person and I would like to also say it publicly: Thank You!

    Try the following website, they only sell the 4000,
    autobodystore.com/home
    go down to painting materials
    then to polishing

    I've bought a fair amount of "paint" materials from them, ship fast always OK
