Hi John!

Excellent product, and the foam core allows it to conform to curved surfaces as well as flat ones. The effect is so micro, you will barely see it. But it may get you a more uniform gloss upon polishing.

Also useful to refinish model kit clear parts (windows) when lightly scratched.

It's a start but I'd get a set of Micro Mesh sheets. They start at 1500 or 3200 depending on the set and go up to 12000 grit.

Just got through using this lol.  It works great along with the 5000.  2000, 3000, 5000 and clear coat is like glass.  I own and have used micro mesh but last time i did i had nothing but scratches left in the finish that i could never get out.

Yes, I like the 3M 3000 pads. They also make an 800 and 1200 that I know of.

Yes i think car wise they go low as 120 i think and up to 5000.  Wally world carries all except the 5000.  That one you got to go to napa or advanced auto, but man there stuff is really good for this hobby.  I'm so stuck on "hobby" related sandpaper i totally over looked this stuff.  After i use up all my "hobby" related sandpaper aka inifini, tamiya, etc I'm done buying hobby related sandpaper.  I'll still get and use the sponge sanding sticks from inifini and few other types from them, but my main sandpaper especially for bodies is gonna be 3M.  Not only is it cheaper the results speak for themselves if you know what you're doing.
