Found a source for single sheets of Meguiar sandpaper grits from 1000 to 3000. I ordered the mix-and-match 6 sheets for
$10.95

http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/s...Sanding_Kit___micro_mesh?partnerid=googlebase <Up to 12k Grit going from 1.5k,1.8k,2.4k,3.2k,3.6k,4k,6k,8k, and 12k for 21 dollars. Includes a sanding block. My dad owns 2 body shops and he said that all you really need to go up to to shine a car is 6k at most, but he said he's used up to 10k.

Thanks, good resource to know. The thread about sharpening a convex edge to a high polish has a pic showing an impressive edge done with 3000 grit. I guess you could get a little obsessed and take it to 6k or 12k. It would be great to see the results. I guess the phrase around here is "Pics, or it didn't happen."
