I also wanted to make my own wheels to not be limited to the single grit on the Flexiwheels. If you have really bad, deep scratches, you can try starting with courser grits like 6000 or 8000. This will let you remove more material quickly (but you also risk scratching the disk worse so be careful). Then move on to 10000 or even 15000 to finish. I would make a wheel for each grit.
