It's called micro mesh.  It's what I use to level my finishes before buffing.  Goes from 1500 grit (the equivalent of 400 wet or dry) to 12000 (no equivalent to any other paper).  Stuff lasts forever.  I have a set of all 9 grits, 3"x6" squares, I've used them on 20 basses so far, still going strong.  I keep them soaking in water)  Can't say enough about them!  They pay for themselves many times over

For machine buffing I use Meguiar's Ultimate Compound.  Used by hand it's a great guitar polish.

This is a fresh nitro finish cured 10 days.  45 minutes with micromesh, 10 with Ultimate Compound and buffer/hand work.
