Michael, Good to see you here. So, you wet sand in any situation? What about surface scratches on a lid? I'm talking about cleaning up the case of a used instrument here, rather than a repair type situation. IOW, if the scratches were all over a lid, at about the level of p600 - p800? It would seem in this case that using a wheel would be much faster and much easier on the body. William R.
