Best technique for wet sanding Options

[dbgriffith75]

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."

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with all of the above and add this:

Start color sanding with 1000, after a little sanding completely dry off the area, the orange peal low spots will still shine and the high spots will be dulled. When there is just a liittle shine left switch to 1500 and repeat until almost all of the shine is gone. Then switch to 2000 and finish the job. After final machine buffing it will be smooth as a babys butt.
