   Ive started to refurb my old vtr alloys and was wondering why i should use wet/dry sandpaper and not just normal sand paper. It might sound like a stupid question but i have no idea what the difference is.
   Cheers in advance for any help on the matter!!

   with a fine grit wet and dry you can sand far more evenly than what you can with normal sandpaper, and without damaging the finish, as normal sandpaper will leave scratch marks all over each layer that you will sand.
   
   Wet and dry comes in different grades, p[erfect for each step of the wheel refurb process.
