Like it says on the wrapper, I just got my first fret erasers. Nothing special, a pair of Hosco branded 1000 grit from Thomann. It gave a similar fret shine to a 3200 grit micro mesh pad.
I tried them put on a neglected guitar donated to the rock school I work for. I like that it'll obviously last longer that micromesh and seem to be faster on a fret by fret basis. But overall it seemed less efficient because with the 3" x 4" micormesh pads I can do multiple frets at once and with enough pressure the pads conform to the curved surface of the fret. With the eraser I have to work the fret surface more carefully. And 3200 micromesh finish not a polished fret in my books and I'll still work through 4000, 6000, 8000, 12000 grits.
What d'yall think? Should I give it more time before deciding on getting finer grit erasers or stick with micromesh?
