Ok I'll bite - what are you talking about? Why can't you just go buy some 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper?

why in god's name would you feel the need to wetsand the fit in the first place?

OEM paint is barely thick enough to last through one wetsanding.

Sport - what are you trying to do?

Yeah, I'm feeling a little stupid after starting this thread. My hood has what seems to be a stone chip on it. From initial inspection, it looks like it has gone right through the clear coat and onto the base coat. What I meant by wet sand products was more like a paint match system to replenish that base coat...or am I going completely opposite with this?

Regardless, after inspecting it a bit more, I think I can get away with regular wet sanding. However, I will probably try the usual method of just using a swirl/scratch remover with a polisher first.
