    What are you wanting to achieve?
    Are you wanting to wetsand so you can buff the clear, or are you trying to wetsand for a respray?


    Car Safety / General Servicing Checks --------Basic suspension checks

    My 5.7 LS1 Holden Ute

    A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.

    If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

        Wetsanding is for AFTER you have painted your car followed by a buff to make the paint as flat as possible to promote shine.

        If you are wanting to sand your car in preparation for new paint, I suggest dry sanding.
        200Grit is what you want to use, Basically you want to take ALL the shine off the paint - New paint won't stick to a shiny surface.

        If this is your first time painting have a read in here - Paint FAQ's

              just scuff the car with a grey scotch bright from a auto parts store or somewhere that sells autobody supplies. Wetsand is to remove orange peel in the paint or any dirt nibs left after painting.
