Review: Nice and flat and also able to mold to body while sanding - I used these to wet sand my entire car. I went through 2 of them, but they worked great and produced great result.
Review: Just Right Sturdiness - I will try to keep this relatively short, but after purchasing a new car I found the standard ring scratches in the layer of paint behind the door handle. In an attempt to fix this I got a dupicolor paint pen, of which I learned applies a high volume of paint to the surface I applied it to. Which lead me to have to wet sand it down to get a mostly clear finish. And this allowed me to sand with relative stability! If you are looking to wet sand yourself here is all I utilized: 1. Proper Grit Sandpapers ( https://amzn.to/45Zzv4j ) 2. Applicator Sponge For Holding the Sandpaper ( https://amzn.to/3XShgM6 ) 3. Sponge for Applying Polish ( https://amzn.to/3XTMEdb ) 4. Microfiber Cloth for Drying Car and Cleaning Polish ( https://amzn.to/4eMOPp7 ) 5. Polish for Returning Shiny Finish ( https://amzn.to/45Uf5tr ) If you do go this route hopefully your wet sanding adventure goes well!
