I just checked the Anarchy has a 1500 grit polished OOB. Heres Storms steps to match it. If it helps.

1500-grit polished factory finish
1. 500-grit Abralon® pad – Sand for 15 seconds on all four sides.
2. Grey Scotch-BriteTM pad – Sand for 40 seconds on all four sides.
3. Storm® Step TwoTM – Polish lightly for 15 seconds on two sides.

Heres the Storm maintence poster showing the steps.

Also heres the Storm info page on the Anarchy, which says 1500 grit polished.

Simple one is stop in the pro shop ask if they got any or order you some. I Like the ebonite ones with the foam back.

Oh and its 3M Scotch Brite #7448 Gray (ultra fine hand) . Its about 800-1000 grit. They dont have the foam back the ebonite ones have though.

Automotive supplies house, people have found them at home depot, lowes, walmarts,kmarts

I took a look Advance Auto parts shows they have a 3 pack for $6, might stop tommorrow and see if I can get one.

Brunswick Siaair (http://www.bowlingball.com/products/bowling-accessories/Brunswick/7594/Siaair-Micro-Finishing-Pads.html) is the same as Abralon (actually lasts a bit longer in my opinion). They offer a 1500 grit pad as well as 800. You can read more about them here: http://www.bowlingball.com/products/bowling-accessories/Brunswick/7594/Siaair-Micro-Finishing-Pads.html
