Wet sanding new paint on a car is very important if you want to get that paint to look it's best, having a glassy smooth look and feel!
Wet sanding is meant to flatten and level out new paint, remove small runs or sags, remove surface debris that landed on the paint while it was wet, flatten out orange peel along with minor pot holes, which are called "fish eyes," within the paint. Rubbing compound is applied after a wet sand to bring the color of the paint back to life before clear coat or "Silicone Free" glaze applications. NOTE: You should not apply any wax until the paint has had 60 to 90 days to completely dry and get hard.
