Meguiar's 3000 Unigrit Paper

[Hando]

Title says it all really. Looking to DIY fix the mother of all stone chips and looking for Meg's Unigrit paper 3000. Meg's UK don't seem to stock it and I've tried most of the usual suspects - anyone had any joy finding some in the UK?

thanks

I'm scared of 2000 I'm going to be polishing by hand and am worried about getting the friction up to polish out the marks from 2000.

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick

Where did you get your 2000 from BTW?

Yep saw the job you did - twas awesome! Wish I could get the porter - but no funds at the mo. I'm only planning on wetsanding the raised bit of touch up paint after touching up the stone chip. Guys on the autopia forum reckon you can polish out the marks of 3000 by hand - but I'm a little nervous to say the least. BTW have found a source in the UK, Alex at SeriousPerformance can order it in.

Yes, I know - - I do about 3 hours driving a day mostly at speed on the A3 - was kind of inevitable. However, I'm gonna take it back to the body shop and see if they'll touch it up as there's a couple of other imperfections showing through now that the paint has fully cured - fingers firmly crossed.

Cheers to everyone else for the tips!

Hi, you may not get a response from Mr. Singh as he's probably busy fixing his baby (it's broke!) but I'm guessing he's talking about this one.

Someone should be along to confirm soon - but bear in mind that you'll need a power converter to run in the UK.

HTH

What other options are there for electric polishers, I assume there are some decent UK ones available ?
