Re: How to use Meguiar's Unigrit Sanding Blocks to remove runs and dirt nibs in paint

Good question and I don't know the specific answer. I'll take a guess?
It's not that hard for the end-user to do this and to also custom shape the block to their needs.
Also, it would be an added cost of time and labor plus another quality control process to implement.
It's really pretty easy to do, you can even use your fingernail.

I just bought the 1500 and 2k for a paint chip repair I am attempting. I anticipate the repair will end up a little taller than the oe paint... Any recommendations for using these on a chip repair specifically?

Just the tips I shared in the article.
Also - take your time, factory clear coat paint is thin.

Really appreciate the quick response Mike.
Is the unigrit block abrasive through-and-through, or is it only the surfaces? I.e. If I were to shape one of the corners into more of a "nub" to get into a tight area, will it still have the ability to cut there?

Yes. The Unigrit blocks are 100% solid abrasives. What's on the outside is in the inside.
Cool tools.
