is this appropriate for wet sanding small scratches on a car's clearcoat

Never tried using it wet. I have only used it sanding down guitar finishes. If you have the product I suggest you try to use it on an area that will not be seen first, then do as appropriate. My concern is that a car finish is very thin and you could easily sand through it!! I have serious concerns about using anything other than vehicle recommended products!!

I would not use it unless I am sure the the paint coat is very thick and if I do I would not use any sandpaper under 3600 grit.

Yes, but you will need to buff it afterwards. The highest paper is 12000 grit, so it is a polishing paper. The lowest is either 1200 or 1500. These micro mesh are designed to be used wet because they are polishing papers. I use them wet with a lube. About me - I own a professional refinishing firm and I use them to achieve high gloss mirrored finishes. I learned about these from an automotive guy, and I use car products to remove swirls and hairlines from my high gloss filled finishes.

Not really, I used it on wood, it gave the wood a mirror like shine..but I wouldn't use it on a car..I suppose something different is to be used on a cars cleacoat, something specialized?

I don't see why not, I use it to polish my cars and does an awesome job!! It's very easy to handle and so comes with a long cord and two pads :) for the price I'm very happy with it

One of my cars has a clearcoat finish and I use Mother's car wash liquid on it with no negative results. It's a good soap product, not nearly as abrasive or chemical-laden as many others on the market for a few dollars less.

If you find the right color number for you car that matches your silver (there are many silver formulas) then yes it is amazing for small scratches. Be sure to get the clear also and have patience, and read the instructions. I used a small amount on an artist brush with just a few hairs left rather than the roller ball applicator and slowly filled in the scratch a thin layer at a time and soon it disappeared. Add the clear to match the shine and finish with rubbing compound and wax and you can hardly tell the scratch is there. Make sure you let each layer dry.

You are probably ok to use this on that. Try a small part first, clean it and make sure it didn't scratch the polish. I did notice that this brush bleeds the color of itself out so never try it on carpet or concrete. I would call it medium stiff bristles.

It works great on light scratches but you can't use it on clear coat paint.

I Don't know either. This really doesn't eliminate scratches, it's seems safe to use as soft polisher. I agree with the other comment.

Yes you can. It will clean and polish but don't use it to try to remove scratches.

I have used it on my moms bifocal glasses, windows overlooking pool and the windshield of my BMW where the wiper assembly had scratched it in a long, circular line. It worked well for tiny fine scratches, deep scratch and hard water stains where windows were cloudy. Yes, the particle size is very fine and consistent. I have two jars and both were the same consistency.

No, I wouldn't use it for auto touch up paint for a small areas because the paint would have to be too thin. This would result with runs in the paint. The best application for your needs is a Pen Air Brush, which can use with a small compressor to prevent a lot of over-spray from getting on other areas of your vehicle, including the wind shields.

I did use it for a walnut table I made. I was very happy with the result. I used it to follow wet sanding in the polishing process. It is more gentle and suited for fine polishing than my Porter Cable random orbital sander.

Not sure. I believe it should be correctly sanded before using. My process was strip, prime, wet sand, prime, wet sand, clean, paint ( at least three coats) ,sand between coats, paint should look dull. Clear coat, sand, clear coat, sand. Rubbing compound, buff, polishing compound, buff. I did my motorcycle gas tank like this and my friends thought it was professionally done.

No. This has a mild action and can be stopped with very little effort. It's primary use is for light detail polishing.

I think it would work well on anything intricate, I personally have only used on model cars and it works well. It does reseal very well, good product thus far.

If your clear coat is similar to an automotive clear coat, then I would say don't use it. The abrasives in this kit are designed for metal and could make your finish worse. This is just my opinion. Ask the manufacturer of the dryer for their recommended solution. Always test an unseen portion of the surface to be polished and view the results under different angles of light.

It depends on what exactly you are trying to use it for. If you are trying to thin out a scratch in your windows sure, maybe it would reduce the look of a scratch, if you are just trying to clean a dirty window, you are using the wrong product, A simple car wash followed by some windex would do much better.
