WD40 is NOT a penetrating oil, it's a water dispersant! Yes, it has a million uses but, penetrating & breaking down rust is NOT one of them, you need something like PB Blaster

And neither does the rest of the real world......

well then.. I'm not even in the rest of the 'real' world anymore Doug?

we have 500, 600, 800 and 1200 at nearly any hardwarestore
(okay 1200 is indeed hard to find sometimes at a hardware store)
highest I've ever seen was 5000 and 7000 (basically a polishing cloth :D)
carpainters use fine grit alot, so if you want some fine grit.. ask them.

Go to any auto supply....they will have it at a price....find an automotive paint store and the selection and prices will be better.....

And pay more attention to how your posts read in the future....if you DON'T say you are looking for sheet paper in the same sentence you mention an orbital.....the only logical conclusion is you are looking for 5" orbital sandpaper and 240 is about the finest I've seen.....

:mad2::mad2::mad2: INDEED!!!

Doug honey I love you man.. but you watch your :censored: tongue and listen to your own advice!

up to 1200 grit for 5" (125mm) orbital sanders are available at any (better) hardwarstore in germany!!

here's one online shop example :
http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/...0-125-mm-Bosch-Best-for-Stone-2608605123-5-St

As if carpainters don't use orbital sanders...:rolleyes:

I admit, the 5000 and 7000 grit are not available for orbital sanders
(or at least, not that I know) and thus a bit 'off topic'
but that's it.
the link was meant as a "polishing cloth" result... nevermind!

And as it turns out, Cameron doesn't exactly need "orbital paper" only ... sooo yeah :horse:

maybe you're the one being too far away from the "real world" then :lolgoku:

If your hardware store doesn't sell sheets in above 500, then go find another store.
It's common for stone, metal, acrylic and lacquer, so I'm sure you'll find it ;)

The larger areas turn out more easily (and evenly) if you get one on your orbital though.

REAL car painters don't use orbital sanders for anything but rough work....and whatever you can get in a German hardware store doesn't help in California....and you probably can't find a hardware store in America with that fine a grit on the shelves.....

And short of calling you a liar....I find it hard to believe they do in Germany....the fact it is manufactured and available online is one thing....widely available locally is quite another....

I own a Bosch 5" sander.....and I can't even find a replacement hook and loop pad for it.....

And we use Fein tools at work....but you can't find either sandpaper or replacement pads anywhere but one or two woodworking stores.....

Naw.....I'll stick by my post.....no regrets....no retractions....it's correct for the real world I live in.....

You mean like those? You need to go to the auto motive paint supply house, or really good mom and pop auto parts store to buy it locally, but those are in every city. And there is always on line shopping.....
Doug, if you tell me the model number, I can find the part.....

These are places within 10 miles of my house that carry the paper....

*sigh* Doug, I'll take pictures for you the next time I'm at a hardwarestore...

buying bosch spare parts for a recent product is easy.. for a discontinued product not so much...
still possible though give me the model number and I'll let you know.

Woodworking is quite different from say metal for sandpaper.. in the woodshop at the university the finest grit was 320.. always... no matter what format or purpose.
cross the hall in the metal shop was where to find the finer grits ;)

Ok, my 2 cents... since I was the one who put Cameron onto the orbital in the first place:

The finest discs I have found locally is 320; for anything finer I have to buy online (which I finally found after much searching), up to 2000, nothing finer available anywhere in Australia...

Same goes for freecut sheets, the finest I've ever seen is 2000 & I've worked in many paint/panel shops

Doug, you are correct, as a general rule, car painters don't use sanders, most of their work is wet rubbing but, I'm not saying they don't use them at all...

Oh & Cameron, your post sounded to me like you were looking for finer discs... just saying...
