You can get it at Homebase, in the decorating section with the sandpaper.

Not at my crappy homebase near me unfortunately.

Managed to get a grey Scotch Brite ultrafine pad from a car shop, which I beleive is equivalent to around 800 grit, so will give this a rub over tonight.

Update - rubbed neck down with Scotch brite pad and this has achieved desired result of a smooth matte finish that has taken away the stickiness that was present before. Any coursing done by lower grade paper doesn't really seem noticeable anymore so it wasn't scratched like I first feared

Agreed! Perfect ending

Thanks for all help. I need to stop myself from using the Scotch brite pad on a gloss neck on my squier classic vibe tele six string. It probably would benefit from a quicker satined neck but it's such a pretty neck I don't want to spoil the look of it!

I always sand the poly necks on my Basses.
I use the stuff called "FreeCut" that car body shops use, It's not the same as ordinary sand paper, it has a different type of grit and it doesn't clog so no need for wet and dry. 800 grit to start then some fine wire wool to finish, it takes about 20 minutes tops to get perfect results. Personally I wouldn't use a block to sand a neck either but each to their own.
A piece of masking tape at the heel and the pointy end so you get nice tidy lines when it's done.
