Wet Sanding

I tend to graduate in grades of sand paper as I work my way from the initial coats to the final wet-sanding of the last clear coats. Starting with 800 and working up to 1200. I use a wooden block when I am specifically trying to work out an imperfection, such as a run. I use a sanding sponge, a firm foam block, for most of the sanding, and sometimes, I just use my hand to conform to the curves of the body.

I use just enough water to lubricate the process and carry away the debri, some people use a drop of detergent to help with the lubrication. Her you can see I have sacraficed a clean soft rug as a work surface.
