I find that Wire Wool does just as good a job! :)

U need to go through the grades to get a decent finish on it....buy a multipacks they tend to do a job going from 80-240+ to fine sand it

So something like that would do the job?

No.3 to get the stickiness off from stickers, then No. 1 just to finish it off! :)
