Where to get 2000 grit sand paper?
I checked Canadian Tier but they only have 1500.
I wanna get my headlights preped for the Laminex film and they are pretty scratched and fogged up right now.

You might want to try some of the plastic cleaner made for the rear windows in convertible tops. Mmm... maybe you don't get too many convertibles up there.

I just walked thru crappy tire in guelph. They have 2000 paper. red compound, then white compound.....I use mcguires plastic polish regularly on my headlights. Takes out the small stuff, and if you use it frequently, my len's have remained pretty good.

i work at a door manufacturing place and we have LOTS and LOTS of sand paper. i'll take a look. if its the 2000, i'll grab it for you. how much do you need? but then you are in ornageville, and may be a waste of time for driving just for sandpaper.
