Wet vs. Dry Sanding Guide
- Wet Sanding (with water): Produces ultra-smooth finishes on paint and clear coats, eliminates dust, prevents heat buildup, ideal for automotive work
- Oil Sanding: Best for smoothing and polishing metals, provides lubrication and corrosion protection
- Dry Sanding: Suitable for quick touch-ups and situations where water isn't practical
Grit Range & Applications
- 60-120 Grit: Paint removal, heavy leveling, rust removal
- 150-320 Grit: General smoothing, between-coat sanding
- 400-600 Grit: Fine finishing, final prep before polishing
- 800-1200 Grit: Ultra-fine finishing, clear coat leveling
- 1500-2500 Grit: Mirror finish polishing, final buffing preparation
Professional Tips
- Keep sheets wet during use for best results and longest life
- Use progressive grits (don't skip more than one grit level)
- Rinse frequently to remove sanding residue
- Store unused sheets in a dry location to maintain flexibility
