Product Information

Full details

The Simply Wet Dry Sandpaper 1200 Grit (WD1200) is an essential tool for automotive enthusiasts, professional body shop technicians, and DIY hobbyists who require a precise, fine finish. These abrasive sheets excel at smoothing surfaces and prepping panels for paint or clear coats; however, users should note that as a high-grit abrasive, it is designed for final refinement rather than heavy material removal.

FAQs

Can these be used on bare metal?

Yes, they are suitable for finishing and smoothing metal surfaces, though they are too fine for removing heavy corrosion.

Should I use water with this sandpaper?

You can use either method. Wet sanding is recommended for automotive paint work to reduce heat and dust.

Are these sheets compatible with a power sander?

Yes, they can be cut to fit most machine sander backing pads.

How many sheets are in the pack?

Each pack contains 25 individual sheets.

Is 1200 grit coarse enough for stripping paint?

No, 1200 grit is a very fine finishing paper. You will need a much coarser grit (like 80 or 120) for stripping paint.

Troubleshooting

Sandpaper clogging during use

Switch to a wet sanding technique or use compressed air to clear the abrasive surface of dust buildup.

Uneven sanding marks

Ensure you are using a sanding block rather than direct finger pressure to distribute force evenly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality 1200 grit finish for fine surface preparation
  • Suitable for both wet and dry sanding environments
  • Flexible enough for complex automotive contours
  • Generous 25-sheet pack for professional or hobby use

Cons

  • Not suitable for aggressive rust or material removal
  • Requires careful handling to prevent tearing on sharp metal edges
  • Limited to finishing tasks rather than heavy-duty sanding

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the surface being sanded is free of deep contaminants before starting with the 1200 grit. If choosing wet sanding, keep a spray bottle of water nearby to constantly rinse away buildup; this prevents the abrasive from clogging and extends the life of the sheet. After use, let the paper dry completely if you intend to store it, or dispose of it if it has become excessively loaded with residue. These sheets are compatible with most standard orbital or block-style hand sanders, but always secure the sheet firmly to prevent sliding during operation.
