On this clip I'm going to show you. Cut a little piece of a 1000 grid sandpaper. We're able to use preferably a hand size, like about this size. That's good. This sandpaper by the way is wet and dry. The majority dry because 1000 grid is very thin. We're going to use water for this. You wet it down of course. You cover it up with 1000. The reason I'm using 1000 now is it's going to become even more smoother. Less scratches. The scratches are going to be even more fine. As you can tell the water creates sort of like a clear coat and you'll be able to see how shiny it's going to become. Okay I'm going to finish wrapping it up with the 1000 grid. I think it's smooth enough.
