You can email VBP and ask them that.  But, I have already done that and Jason said that basically you can take a grey scotchbrite (similar to 800 grit) and then polish over the top of that.  That will get you pretty close to box finish.  I typically use 1000 abralon with polish or if I need more length and controllable backend, I go up to 4000 and no polish.

I know i'm a little late on the this but try storms react shine. It polishes balls to 1500 or a little higher depending on the pressure used.

FWIW that 1500 grit on the Reacta Shine label really depends on more than just the pressure used. It also depends at what sanding grit level the ball is when you apply it. It's better if you start around 800 - 1000 grit US.  If you started at 400 grit, it might take a long time and a lot of pressure and polish to get to 1500 grit.
