2.
Soak the sand paper and tack sponge in water with a small amount of liquid wash # 00 for a lubricant. Soak for 15 minutes minimum (overnight is
ideal).
3.
Begin wet sanding with 2000 grade paper on a backing pad. Hold the tack sponge (or equivalent) over the surface and squeeze out a sufficient
amount of water while sanding. Sand in one direction only, 12-15 strokes. Do not sand in a circular motion.
4.
Use the tack sponge (like a chamois) to dry the surface for inspections. If the scratch remains, wet the surface with tack sponge, resume sanding
with 2000 grade paper or change to 1500 or 1200 grade for faster cut. Keep surface flushed with water from tack sponge during sanding.
NOTE:
Always finish sanding with a 2000 grade paper.
5.
After sanding is complete, use the tack sponge like a chamois to dry the surface.
6.
Follow the previously described buffing procedure, beginning with # 2 cleaner and finish with # 9 or # 11. Spot check the area as needed with the
50/50 alcohol/water solution.
