3M™ Wetordry™ sandpaper has long been a great choice for auto repair jobs - there's no need to spend extra time switching sandpaper between wet sanding and dry sanding. A full range of grades features silicon carbide abrasives mounted on flexible, waterproof paper for consistently excellent results. Wetordry™ sandpaper can be used by hand or for machine sanding. Featuring waterproof paper backing, 3M™ Wetordry™ sandpaper has been a trusted resource in automotive repair since the 1920s. It delivers true versatility - even if you're wet sanding one area and dry sanding the next, our 3M™ Wetordry™ sandpaper lets you keep moving without having to switch sandpaper. Today you can choose from a complete range of sandpaper grits for jobs ranging from shaping body filler to final paint touchups. Wetordry™ sandpaper features our silicon carbide abrasive, ideal for creating a smooth, refined finish. In fact, it delivers a 10% smoother finish vs conventional 3M™ sandpaper. Each sheet is durably resin bonded onto a waterproof paper that helps conform to metal, plastic body filler or fiberglass sanding surfaces, whether by hand or machine. This range of sandpaper for wet or dry sanding is excellent for use in the fill, paint and finish stages of our 3M™ body repair system. Wet sanding and dry sanding each have their own advantages for sanding effectiveness, time savings and creating a professional grade finish for your auto body repairs. Wet sanding helps keep dust out of the air and reduces clogging of the sandpaper which can slow you down and cause unwanted scratches in the surface. Wet sanding is generally done during the more refined stages of body repair. Dry sanding tend to remove stock from the surface faster and saves you from having to continually dry the surface - you can instantly check the progress of your work. Our 3M™ Wetordry™ sandpaper saves you time and hassle right from the start. It allows you to keep just one sandpaper on hand and to eliminate extra time switching between sandpapers, even if your project requires both dry and wet sanding. 3M™ Wetordry™ sandpaper in finer grits features silicon carbide - a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for low pressure applications such as paint prep, smoothing of clear coats and as an alternative to compounding. Users only need to apply light pressure to obtain a consistent scratch pattern desirable for final finishing. An industry staple since the 1920s, 3M™ Wetordry™ sandpaper was one of our original sandpapers for auto care. Today, Wetordry™ features a variety of grits, premium abrasives and waterproof paper backing designed to make your auto body sanding more professional and more efficient. It can be used wet or dry - an excellent example of how 3M™ applies science to your life for easier, faster and better auto body repair.
