Scotch Brite Pad source

[rjstaaf]

Hey guys,

I am looking for a source for Light Duty and Ulta Fine pads. Anyone know of a good reputable source. I have not had any luck finding a local source so if you know of a reputable online source that would help.

Here are the pads listed on 3M's website.

Scotch-Brite™ Light Duty Hand Pad 6448, 20 pads per box, 3 boxes per case

Scotch-Brite™ Ultra Fine Hand Pad 7448, 20 pads per box, 3 boxes per case
http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/e...er/output_html

I am going to be using them to clean and give a matte finish to the engine from my '97 Honda VFR750. I have been using regular Scotch Brite pads but, the ones available at places like WalMart or most auto parts stores are just a bit too agressive.



Thanks

Larger Ace Hardware stores tend to stock the finer Red and Grey pads.

Green-Red-Gray-White (most-Least aggressive).

Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, between home and my commute to work there are 3 Ace hardware stores so I will check them out first. If I strike out there I will check out the online sources. If anyone has any more suggestions I would appreciate them just in case these don't pan out.

Here is the bike I am working on if anyone is curious.

Before, this is how she looked when I picked her up last year.


After, this was taken the other day and is how she sits right now.


The garage looks like the parts room of a cycle shop. I still have a long way to go before I get her all back together.
