High-Grit Wet & Dry Sandpaper — 36-Pack & 18-Pack Guide (1500 → 7000 Grit)
Professional-grade wet & dry sandpaper sheets engineered for ultra-fine polishing. Ideal for automotive chrome delete, lacquer smoothing, jewelry and stone finishing, and precision plastic or glass polishing.
Product Overview & Specifications
36-Pack — 1500 to 7000 Assorted Grit
- Contents: 36 pieces total — 6 sheets each of grit:
1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 5000, 7000. - Sheet size: 9 × 3.6 inches (can be used by hand, on sanding block, or cut to custom shapes).
- Material: Silicon carbide abrasive with nano-sand planting technology for fine, uniform particles.
- Backer: Electro-coated soft backing paper for flexibility and durability.
- Use: Wet & dry — compatible with water, varnish, shellac, lacquer, or oil.
18-Pack — 120 to 3000 Assorted Grit
- Contents: 18 sheets total: 2 sheets each of
220, 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, plus one sheet each of120, 1200, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000. - Sheet size: 9 × 3.6 inches (hand use, blocks, or trimmed to fit).
- Durability: Sheets designed not to fall apart or crumble in normal use.
- Applications: Automotive sanding, furniture finishing, metal & plastic smoothing, glass and stone finishing.
Key Benefits
- Wide grit range: From coarse preparation grits (120—for the 18-pack) to ultra-fine finishing (7000), enabling full multi-stage refinishing workflows.
- Wet & dry versatility: Use wet to reduce dust, minimize clogging, and achieve mirror-like finishes on paint, chrome and glass.
- Uniform particle distribution: Nano-sand-planting process yields consistent cutting action and smoother final surfaces.
- Flexible backing: Works well for hand-sanding curved surfaces and when wrapped on sanding blocks.
- Multi-material: Suitable for metal, glass, plastic, stone, jade, leather, lacquer and wood.
How to Use — Practical Polishing & Sanding Steps
Below are two common workflows depending on your project — coarse-to-fine sanding for repairs/refinishing, and ultra-fine polishing for chrome, glass, or paint correction.
Coarse-to-Fine Sanding (repairs, paint prep)
- Start with a suitable coarse grit (e.g.,
120–220) to remove scratches, old paint, or material buildup. - Progressively move to medium grits (e.g.,
320–800) to remove marks left by the previous grit. - Finish with fine grits (e.g.,
1000–3000) for a smooth base before polishing. - Clean the surface between stages to check progress and avoid embedding debris.
Ultra-Fine Polishing (chrome, glass, lacquer)
- Start wet with
1500and move to2000 → 2500 → 3000for initial leveling and light scratch removal. - Advance to
5000and7000for mirror finishes. Use plenty of water as lubricant and to flush away swarf. - Complete with a polishing compound and a soft buffing pad for the highest gloss.
- Work evenly, keep the sandpaper flat, and avoid excessive pressure which can create new scratches or heat damage.
Tips & Best Practices
- Always clean and rinse surfaces between grits to prevent deeper scratches.
- Use a sanding block on flat areas for even removal; fold the sheet for contours.
- Replace paper if particles clog or the backing peels—consistent grit action matters more than reusing a worn sheet.
- For delicate materials like jade or glass, lean toward finer grits and a slower, controlled technique.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "wet & dry" mean?
A: "Wet & dry" sandpaper is designed to be used with water (or another lubricant) to reduce dust, carry away abrasive debris, and produce a smoother finish. It also helps reduce clogging and overheating.
Q: Can these sheets be cut to fit a palm sander or block?
A: Yes — the sheets are easy to trim to size. They are 9 × 3.6 inches by default, which fits most hand sanding workflows and many small blocks when trimmed.
Q: Are these compatible with automotive finishes?
A: Absolutely. The grit ranges included (especially in the 18-pack and 36-pack) are commonly used for paint correction, lacquer smoothing and chrome polishing in automotive detailing.
Q: What's the difference between silicon carbide and aluminum oxide abrasives?
A: Silicon carbide (used here) cuts faster and is sharper — ideal for wet sanding and polishing non-ferrous materials like glass and plastic. Aluminum oxide tends to last longer on wood and some metals; both have uses depending on your application.
Which Pack Is Right for You?
Choose the 36-Pack (1500–7000) if your work focuses on ultra-fine polishing, mirror finishes, chrome delete jobs, or detailed glass/plastic polishing where very high grit is required.
Choose the 18-Pack (120–3000) if you need a broader range that includes coarse preparation grits for repair and bodywork plus fine finish grits up to 3000 for paint and lacquer finishing.
Both packs use silicon carbide, wet & dry compatibility, and flexible backing—making them excellent value for professionals and hobbyists alike.
