I just finished painting the hood and cowl sections of my 29woodie and have some flaws(orange peel and a couple of sags)that I'd like to try and fix. My understanding is that I'll need to start by wet sanding with 1200, 1500, and 2000 grit paper wrapped over a semi-soft pad. Do I put dish soap in the water? If so, how much? I soak the paper for 10 or so minutes before starting and change it constantly, right? Do I really slop the water on or flick it off the paper first? Am I forgetting or overlooking something? Thanks, dave

No more soap than used for your dishes. Spray water on from a bottle or hose, a bucket of water doesn't stay clean and you'll scratch your paint. Experience will tell you when to change paper, pay attention to the sludge you're creating. Work with a squeegee or air to clear off the water for a look at your progress.
