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."

Just did some wet sanding yesterday after touching up some scratches by hand. You MUST use a sanding block. I like the 3M rubber block that takes a 1/4 sheet of paper. I used a squirt bottle with a few drops of liquid dish soap. Squirt/sand/dry with a rag and look at my work...repeat. The advice above about looking at the orange peel is important. I used 600 (very carefully), then 1000, then 1500, then buff.
I have used a bucket of water to dip sanding block in (indoors) and hose (outdoors) and I think the spray bottle is best. Enough water, easy to control, little mess, and it keeps the paper cleaner than the other methods. I wipe the paper with the rag at the same time I wipe the car. |
