Where to find 3M Ultrafina in Ontario?

Been wanting to give 3M Ultrafina a try for a while now, but I have no idea where to pick it up in Canada. Anyone in Canada, or Ontario know where to find this product? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try an auto body supply store.

Do a search for Napa Cmax.
I found it there but be prepared to take it up the butt.
They wanted $60 for the Ultrafina SE, $35 for the blue pad and $60 for the backing plate.
I ordered from the USA and got all this for $140

I was afraid that the Canadian retailers would jack their prices. I wonder, seeings that I live a 5 minute drive from Detroit, MI, if I should just make a trip over there and see what I can find.

Do a search and find a freight forwarder in Detroit that receives packages.
I ship all my packages to a freight forwarder across the border and pick them up for $3.00 a box.
I always get the best deals online and I never pay brokerage fees or worry that they'll drop off a package on my doorstep and it will sit out there all day.
If it's $40-50 Customs doesn't even bother you for the taxes usually.
I've even gone through with declaring $200 brake rotors and they didn't even stop me a few months ago (rare occasion).

Does it just cost you $3.00 per package, or are there any other fees. If I could bring this stuff across myself instead of shipping it across the border, it'd be great. I mean, sometimes it takes 3-4 weeks for a shipment to arrive thanks to customs

The freight forwarder charges only $3.00 per package up to 70 Lbs.
Tires are a little more though.
It was only $2.00 before the first of January. No other fees.
I picked up a clutch and flywheel which weighed 50Lb. last week and it was stilll $3.00.
When I cross the border I only pay the taxes since it's a US made product.
I shipped a US made car part to a customer of mine from NJ to Alberta and it sat in customs for 17 days. It's a damn joke.
Here is a link to the place I use. I'm sure there is a company in your area that does the same thing.

I use a UPS Store in Niagara Falls, NY. You rent a box there and have your packages shipped to it. There is no Post Office Box Number but a street number and everything arrives just fine and is signed for. Have had it for 3 years now.
