Nick, make sure the blending pad is 60 grit. If not you may wind up taking grain out instead of putting it in. The brown pads I have are that and do a good job for a small fix. I also have a sponge type pad with 60 grit that does a good job. How much do you have to do? If it's a lot I have a flapper wheel with 60 grit I sell.

Can anyone give me a run down on the process and grades of sandpaper etc. I have bought a blending pad from Huston some time ago, so i already have one of them. The grain is in OK condition at the moment but i would like to get it back to new. I have the bumpers off so i presume that will make it alittle easier and i am aware of the 'X' problem with pressing on on the bonnet.... Any help would be appreciated.
