Questions & Answers
This high-grit sandpaper is commonly used to achieve a mirror finish on a car or motorcycle's paint. When it comes to computer cases, I'm in the same boat. However, it can be used to create a mirror finish on almost any metal surface. To that end, it can be applied to metal surfaces wet or dry. Wetsanding, on the other hand, is used to achieve a showroom-quality finish. I start with 1000 grit and work my way up to 2500 grit to achieve that level of shine. I'll soak the sandpaper in warm water with a few drops of dish soap for a few minutes before using it. I'll also wet down the surface because keeping the work piece wet is essential for wetsanding without removing paint. To keep the panel I'm working on wet, I use a spray bottle. br>We use a rubbing compound, a finishing compound, and a fine polish after wetsanding. A wax cleaner and carnuba wax can be used to keep it looking good.
Yes and no; it's the final sand paper you'll need, but you'll still need to compound, polish, and wax them for the longest time. Otherwise, you'll have to repeat the process four times a year. For about a year, this procedure is effective. I hope I was of assistance.
If you sand until you don't see the scratches, it will bring the area around them down to the deepest part of the scratch.
This is a step in the metal polishing process. You'll also need some finer grits, such as 2000 and possibly 3000, as well as metal polish.

a paper with a rating Nowhere in the description is this mentioned! IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS A P- SANDPAPER THAT HAS BEEN RATED AND DOESN'T HAVE THAT IN THE TITLE OR DESCRIPTION. Many sellers simply hope that their potential buyers are unaware of the distinction, but there is one. P- is in perfect condition. It's just DIFFERENT than the US rating scale when it comes to rated paper. If your other papers are on the standard US scale, this will not be the correct grit. P600 grit, for example, is roughly 380 CAMI grit (on the US rating scale). There is a significant difference!.
Because they had some nice scratches, I decided to start with a 1000 grit and work my way up to 2000, then 3000, and finish with Meguiars Ultimate Compound. It all came out beautifully. Before doing my headlights, I watched a lot of YouTube videos and discovered that there are a lot of different ways to do it. In the end, it comes down to what process works best for you, your budget, and how you want to do it. Anyway, 3M consistently produces high-quality products, so this sandpaper is highly recommended.
For the past 40 years, I've used 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper. Because sheets of it are not readily available where I live, I can fold one sheet of this package in fourths and cut along the fold lines to make sanding sheets for my palm sander. I almost exclusively use these for wet sanding of wood project finishes (Polycrylic) because they are efficient and time-saving for something I can no longer find where I live. I keep the sheets even when they are worn out and no longer cut as well as they did when they were new, and they become even FINER grit over time, ensuring that I get the most bang for my buck. Great product in a size I can use 100% of the time and 100% of the paper I can use 100% of the paper I can use 100% of the paper I can use 100% of the There's no point in wasting time when you can get more bang for your buck by sanding.
I've used it to restore headlights, polish tools, and sand woodworking projects because it's a tough 3M sandpaper that lasts a long time. Most people would argue that sanding pine with 1000 grit sandpaper is unnecessary and time consuming; they are correct, but I strongly advise you to try it at least once. Wet or dry, the paper is durable. I learned the hard way not to buy cheap sandpaper a long time ago. 3M is always a safe bet. I would strongly suggest it.
It's a little more expensive, but it's well worth it. Unlike the cheap generic Chinese scratches/grits, these are very consistent and accurate. This will make a significant difference, particularly when it comes to the final cut and buff. It's possible that the generic 1k paper is a mix of 600, 800, 1k, 1200, and so on, or that it's simply mislabeled. I tried them and found that a 1500 grit produced 600 or 800 grit scratches, as well as the fact that they fall apart easily.
Having been unable to locate high-quality I bought this grit sanding paper from Amazon because it was hard to find in stores. Like any good wet-suit, this one isn't for the faint of heart You can clean sanding paper with water and mineral spirits several times. This paper is what I use to smooth out my die-cuts. To remove the orange-colored cast models and to remove the orange-colored cast models, Textures should be peeled off of completed surfaces. Because this is a very coarse grit, begin with a lower grit. Papers with grit.
With hardware stores no longer being what they used to be (if you can find one at all, which isn't a big deal), (a big-box store that mostly carries the most common items) the hard-to-find items Even more difficult to come by are polishing grits. br>br>Although this pack contains a limited number of sheets, the ones that are included are exceptionally well-made and uniformly produced. I've used them both dry and wet on tough steel gun parts and had great results.
I'd been going straight from cleaning to polishing some car parts I'm restoring, never happy with the results unless I spent hours upon hours polishing. Then a friend recommended this sand paper with a grit of 2000. It's incredible for preparing metal surfaces before polishing. br>br>I took some old Jaguar carbs and used them to remove the last traces of oxidation (wet). I almost looked like I'd started polishing by the time I was finished. Although the pack contains a large number of sheets, each one will last a long time, particularly if used wet. br>br>This picture shows the carbs before and after.
