Whoever's cheapest.... I tend to end up buying a fair bit from Halfords for conveniences sake - how much can you spend on sandpaper after all? Especially the 40 - 80 Al Oxide paper that lasts for ages..
You do know how much work you're letting yourself in for btw??

Made a start yesterday on the front bumper with 80 then 120 that I had left over from some home diy, comming up quite well, was about 2 hours and still needs lots of work. Struggling to get the plastic parts off the front bumper. Sanding round them at the moment.

Yeah, it's pretty dispiriting - take the laptop out to the garage, put a good film on and get stuck in is all you can do.....

Spent another 3 hours yesterday, starting to consider just forking out to get someone else to do.
