RE: Wet sanding
Use 2000 grit to remove orange peel or other surface imperfections. If all you have is dull, or minor scratches, do not sand. Get a good rubbing compound. 3-M Finesse is a VERY good product. Not like turtle wax or other "store brands" that go on heavy and are hard to remove. 3-M Finesse is creamy smooth, good cut, and comes off easy. With a buffer as it heats up you can actually see it go on, do it's job and come off, all in the same motion. Buff it off and hit it with polish. Then, wax or glaze depending on your preference. I like glaze, but only because everything I do is scratch and swirl free first. I am not "filling" blemishes, I am making the surface shine. I do custom paint and everything I put out looks wet! See http://colorbyweasel.com to see for yourself. I specialize in flames and graphics on high dollar motorcycles. Good luck!

Haze left behind by wetsanding often requires heavier compounds and a rotary polisher. What are you trying to wetsand?

I would use rubbing compound or polish and like someone else said, sand as a last resort. It will be "frosted" when you sand it but it will come back. Use 2000 dry and you can see it work before you cut too deep. Again, I would still buff it first.
