Sandpaper

Sandpaper is a necessity for any detailer who likes to take his detailing to the next level. There are certain paint defects that can only be removed with sandpaper. Think orange peel, dust, fish eye, and so on.... Not only that, but headlights can be restored significantly better and faster by using sandpaper!

Sandpaper is able to remove texture, which is not possible with a polishing pad and polishing paste because the polishing pad will always bend to the shape of the texture instead of removing it. Sandpaper is also generally coarser, allowing you to remove paint defects faster than with a polishing pad and polishing paste. This saves you time and resources and often gives you better results as well.

Good sandpaper is also very important. Many think that this is simply a coarse piece of paper. But nothing could be further from the truth. Sandpaper does have a difference in quality. The durability of quality sandpaper, for example, is so much better that the sandpaper may be twice as expensive as the cheap sandpaper. But the quality sandpaper can sometimes last up to 6x as long making it actually cheaper overall by taking quality.

In addition, the grains are also more evenly distributed throughout the sandpaper. It is a uniform layer of all of the exact same grains creating a very clean and proportionate sanding structure. Cheap sandpaper almost always has grains that differ in size and don't all break down the same way and time so the sanding pattern is different. As a result, you spend longer refining and can sometimes still see sanding marks when you go to a softer sandpaper. This again costs time and money!

The release of its dust is also different for cheap sandpaper and quality sandpaper. Cheap sandpaper discharges its dust poorly, causing accumulations and you get pig tails in the sanding pattern, for example, which again takes you longer to refine. Cheap sandpaper is also thinner and made of cheaper material so that sometimes even the velcro of the backing plate of the sanding or polishing machine textures through the sandpaper or even punctures it causing damage! Because it is cheaper material and cheaper it is often also much less suitable to use for wet sanding, also called wet sanding.

These are just a few reasons why you need sandpaper and why it's best to choose quality sandpaper like the one we offer. We could go on for hours about “simple” sandpaper. But from our training, research and years of experience, we've already learned that it's best not to look at the few cents difference between cheap and quality. Instead, it saves you money, time and frustration by simply choosing quality sandpaper from the first time!
