Wetsanding IS removing a portion of the top coat, whether it is clear or paint. It`s a REALLY aggressive way to get rid of flaws that polish or waxes can`t hide or remove, but it can be really efficient if done properly. It is important to do as little as possible, check it, and see if you need to do it more.



Usually, after wetsanding the area will look dull or hazy. You`ll then have to go over it with polish and wax to restore the shine you`re looking for.
