ultra fine sandpaper...

Does anyone know where I can get some ultra high grit sand paper or blocks? Im looking for 3000 and higher but I cant find anywhere here that sells it. Not even the hobby shops have anything higher than 2000. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the leads guys. I knew Meguiars made the stuff, I had seen it somewhere a while ago but didnt know where to get it from.
I did get another lead from a friend of mine who's into model cars. He sent me to Micro-mark.com where they carry up to 12,000 grit paper... Which is $3.40 for one 4"x6" sheet. Im not looking for anything THAT fine, but I might order a sheet just to see how it works.
