So then I wanna know the simple basic steps for doing wet sanding. Or if you know a good site please list.

TIA.

Use light/no pressure and a steady supply of water. Enough to keep the area under a puddle. Usually the sandpaper will keep a blotch of water there by surface tension. Everything should remain cool and you should see the material slowly flowing around in the water.

Start at low grit and work your way up, ie 150, 300, 450, 600, 1000. I'm no expert but this has worked well for me.

 

And be careful, wet sanding removes material really fast. And gives a very smooth result. You need paper that is designed for wet sanding of course. I did my chin spoiler and used an electric sander - I don't recommend that, use air powered tools. I also just used a hand held spray bottle for the water. It only worked because the spoiler is so small and curvy that water will not puddle on it.

 

Thanks guys.

That's what I'm gonna be working on, a rear spoiler for my friend's Prelude. It's got a small, semi-longish scratch on it. I suggested that I'll try wet sanding it.

Try starting at a medium grit like 600. Just go really easy on it - it's better to start too fine and get nowhere than too deep and make the paint look faded.
