I've seen lots of posts asking what kind of sandpaper to use, and where to get it.
The general consensus, that I've seen, is that 3M, Norton, Indasa, and Sunmight are the top choices for most grits.

For finishing grits, Eagle Abrasives and Sunmight seem to top the list.

Not all jobbers carry what you want or need, so sometimes we have to go online to find it. Amazon is the "go to" site for many.

Finding the right sandpaper on Amazon can actually be hard. This is because a lot of cheap or unknown brands are paying for top search results, or the brand you are looking for hasn't done a good job of indexing their products.

I've spent hours and hours pulling together a list of links, to the most common grits, of the brands that people seem to like the most, and posted it on my website.
**It also includes the finishing grits and materials for the "Jim C" cutting and buffing process.

You should remove that Trizact 1500. It’s complete garbage imo. You aren’t doing anyone any favors recommending it. Eagle yellow is infinitely better in my experience.

For wet sanding I like Meguiar's Unigrit (which actually isn't made by them, it's a Japanese company). I tried the dry disc sanding but I'm back to wet sanding.
 
Thanks for the links, Dean. They are a big timesaver.
What is the go-to interface pad for the finishing grits?

I've used both and prefer the Eagle for sure. But I didn't think the Trizact was bad.
It also has very high reviews, at least on Amazon.
YMMV.

Same, I'll use 3M for 1000 and rougher but for higher grits Unigrit is the best I've found.

i used a combo of orange foam and wool. wool being a little faster i guess but also doesnt leave as nice of a finish. its a little more swirly

Yeah, OK. I used it wet and it was OK. But @Jim C recommends dry for this grit.
No question the Eagle product is better, wet or dry.
I pulled it off the list. Only want to have the best there.
