Grit refers to the fineness of the sandpaper. Depending on the application for which you wish to use the sandpaper, choose the correct grit size. Example, general finish for timber flooring or fine finish for coffee tables etc.

Should sandpaper be used on headlights?

Using Sandpaper on HeadlightsNo you should never use sandpaper on your headlights. Using sandpaper to clean headlights is an archaic, low tech approach to a modern problem.Only someone who does not understand the difference between plastic objects and a plastic refractive lens would consider using something as aggressive as sandpaper on plastic headlights.Sandpaper strips away the surface of the lens along with the factory protective UV coating. You actually have to resurface your headlight when you use sandpaper. And no aftermarket kit or sealer can replace the UV layer to oem specs.Polish is a better solution than Sandpaper but it too can also remove part of the lens surface. A pure liquid Deoxidizer is the best solution for removing oxidation without damaging the lens surface.


Dffrence between 180 grit sandpaper and 60 grit sandpaper?

The higher the number code printed on the back of all sandpaper the finer the grit. With a little practice you can begin to understand what grit is appropriate for any given job. For instance, I refinish hardwood floors and it requires three courses of sanding. To help quickly remove an old finish from hardwood floors I start with a very course #20 sandpaper. It is so rough that it removes a large amount of material pretty quickly. Then, when I have sanded the floor down to bare wood I "step up" to 60 grit sandpaper. Once I've gone over the entire floor with the 60 grit I "step up" again to the finer 100 grit paper. When refinishing wood floors or furniture it is necessary to use several courses of sanding to help remove the deep scratches created by the rougher grits of sandpaper. I hope this helps. John
