I don't have anything in particular I'll need to wet sand soon, but I got to thinking about this today and was just wondering.
I've known some people to spray a given area with a hose, then sand. I've known some to wipe down the area with a wet rag, then sand. And one guy I know dips the sandpaper in water, then sands. My personal preference is to wipe down the area with a wet rag, then sand. Just wondering how other guys do it and what could be considered the "best method."

A friend of mine spent the summer when we were younger wet sanding a bug with a block and lots of beer! We had a left over keg with only a pump so it was going to go bad. He filled up his cup and drank a sip each time he dumped a sip!! Then rinsed the car with water when he was done.
His girlfriend ended up beating the paint with a spiked shoe and it didn't even chip it!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
