Recommendation? Best Finishing Belts?

[SLC_Blades]

So I’ve recently been enjoying a couple high grit cork belts as they allow me to start hand sanding at a higher grit. The belts I use to work up to the cork belts are usually cheap aluminum oxide belts that wear out incredibly quickly. What are some good belts for the low to mid grits? I’ve heard a lot of good things about Trizact CF belts but I haven’t been able to find any (not to mention they’re fairly pricey).
Thanks!

Pops has them for about 8$. Since they last forever that isn't bad. Lately I have really been liking the 3M micro film belts especially the 60 micron. They are ok to use wet and cut a lot longer than the cheap belts as well as not having belt bump. I use a squirt bottle with soapy water and run them with medium speed and a lot of pressure.

I really like the Sanyko AO belts that Pops has. They're around $1.75 each, so it hurts less when they wear out fast. Belt bump is manageable.

Trizact aluminum structured oxide are over $8 but they last a long time, literally until you reach the backing.

Trizact aluminum oxide aka Gator are a great finishing belt $9

I wholeheartedly concur
