Glyn RS2,
I got the 2500 unigrit from Meguiars UK on 0870 241 6696. It cost £18.99 + VAT = £22.31 (approx $40) for 25 half sheets - this is the minimum quantity you can purchase. not cheap but i couldn't find anywhere else to buy such fine quality paper.

Thanks for that BlackCat - I will give them a ring

I took all of your advice and ordered some #83 to try and remove the slight marks left after wet sanding and originally trying to use #2, which I now understand is formulated for one coat and rotary useage (thanks 2hotford). heh, you live and learn !!

anyway thought I would update you how I got on...

this time working in only small sections (2x2) which I think first time I was trying to work too big an area in one go. First tried DACP with 8006 but was only making a sligt difference, so used 7006 cutting pad and took 2 attempts. This removed all of the slight sanding scratches . how happy am I ? looked very closely at the surface at different angles in different light etc and definitely no scratches left. DACP is top.

Below you can see the slight sanded areas and the section that i have worked with DACP. what a difference.


this is a photo of the hood after having worked it all over with DACP.


I subsequently topped this with #7 and #26 and the shine is fantastic as can be briefly seen in this reflection of the door.


Now that I have been guided on the correct products, Meguiars makes this so easy. I was so proud driving my BMW this weekend. Thanks Meguiars.

Good Show Old Chap!!

I see you had success with the W-7006 pad on your PC Black Cat...I seem to favor it more often for heavier cleaning & scratches too.
