Phil, I've had another think about the grades and I think I have mislead you. The grades go Blue, green, red, white in descending order of coarseness. I have used the red grade extensively on aluminium (3" squares with the bolt) - blue seems to be used to scour bathroom floors, and green is often used for household dishwashing (that's for those of you that don't use a dishwashing machine), red works well when "grinding" corrosion out of aluminium aircraft skins - so I would begin with the white grade if you can get it - it will need less 'aging' than the rest, and it is a finer weave than the others. This is the grade I use for washing up (oops, now the secret is out).
