Frequently Asked Questions
What is 2000 grit sandpaper used for?
2000 grit is used for final wet sanding of clearcoat before polishing. It removes the finest imperfections like orange peel and light dust nibs while leaving an extremely fine scratch pattern that buffs out quickly with polish and a rotary or DA polisher.
Should I use 1500 or 2000 grit for wet sanding clearcoat?
Start with 1500 grit to level the surface, then follow up with 2000 grit to refine the scratch pattern before polishing. This two-step approach produces a faster, higher-gloss finish with less compounding effort.
How many sheets come in a pack?
Each pack of 3M 02044 contains 50 sheets.
