Frequently Asked Questions
What is 2500 grit sandpaper used for?
2500 grit is the finest commonly used grit in automotive refinishing. It’s used for final wet sanding of clearcoat before polishing, leaving an extremely fine scratch pattern that requires minimal compounding to achieve a mirror-like finish.
What’s the difference between 2000 and 2500 grit?
2500 grit leaves an even finer scratch pattern than 2000, requiring less aggressive polishing to achieve full gloss. Use 2000 grit first to level the surface, then 2500 to refine before polishing for the best results.
How many sheets come in a pack?
Each pack of 3M 02045 contains 50 sheets.
