Try the Eastwood Company. There web address is http://www.eastwood.com. I got some 400 grit 600 grit and 1000 grit 3 inch pads. They come in 25 packs for $11.69. They also have 20 packs of scuff pads for $14.39. I am not sure if they are on there site, you might have to give them a call. Hope this helps.

Do you use the Estwood 3"sanding discs? Do they work on wet and dry for the lenses. There are times I can not sand wet and the ones Dvelp has just don't cut it that well.

I looked at the 3"solid discs. Are they the ones you use? They do look like the ones GT uses for their polyhog for wet sanding.

The IPS system is around 500.00 and you have to go to fla for training...the site i gave on post 4 is much cheaper than eastwood..you can buy a box of 50 discs for between 14.00 qnd 18.00..eastman is 25 for 11.95?..the discs can be used for 2 cars depending on how you take care of them..as far as sander ..make sure it is a variable speed one...I use a jepson sander with a variable speed trigger I installed..look on lensrenew for a milwaukee sander or on dvlelup..dvelup has a clear that most people seem happy with..hope this helps

Mr Chip.
Thanks for the Info, IPS seems reasonable at $500, the trip might be tough.

The Milwaukee sander looks good, Many people use the Jepson, Sure wish it was variable speed, I was also looking at Makita and a small Bosch rechargeable screwdriver.

Thanks again.
