"A musclecar, by definition, is a powerful and sporty vehicle that must be able to spin its tires at will. The Firebird Trans Am is capable of laying down twin black streaks of rubber several hundred feet long. We wanted to be sure it could, so we did it a half dozen times in the name of automotive science." - Motor Trend -
They are a good product, but I prefer the Meguiar's because they don't load up as much and seem to last longer. Hey, use 'em up, then go with the others.See the big picture, enjoy the details -
wel...mmmm i've used both brands, but iv'e used 3M's sanding papers mor than meguiars. i've only used 3000 grit meguiars sandpaper and it worked great. sanding marks buff out easily, as 3M's papers did buff out quickly too.
on my personal experience, i noticed meguiar's sanding papers cut better, while 3M's papers cut slightly less even if you are using very abrasive grits like 1500 or 1200...even 1000...
i'd recommend you to try both papers, and both being the same grit size so you can compare results. just be sure to have a sanding backing pad, and any meguiars compound. it works magic with marks." Sometimes logic is your friend (Mike-In-Orange)"Comment

...just forgot to tell you: if you don't have a lot of experience in wet sanding, use 2500 or 3000 grit paper to start.
I hope this helps

What Chex said. Once I tried the Unigrit papers I never went back to 3M. And yeah, start with the 3K.Practical PerfectionistComment
