Mask the area around the panel. This will protect it from sand scratches and buffing marks. This will also speed cleanup by keeping spatter off the
area surrounding the repair.

Fold the color sanding paper around a sponge pad such as a 3M Wetordry Sponge pad (or equivalent). The sponge pad will give uniform support
to the color sanding paper. This will help control the rate of cut and prevent finger grooves.

Flood the repair area with water while you sand. Sand, using straight strokes and only in one direction - toward the driver is best.
