Replacing sanding paper with compounds.
Allright, so I have met another South African on the forum and he has confirmed my worst fears, that you do not get sanding paper or micro mesh higher than 1200 grit. In fact the highest micro mesh we have is 230 grit. So I bought a rubbing compound kit from a huge hardware store, and it contains compounds to polish steel from a rough finish to a mirror finish. It has brown, black, green, pink and white compounds. So can I substitute fine sanding paper with rubbing compounds?
