Answer

A uniform haze is normal after wet sanding. Refine it with 1500, 2000, then 3000.

Why it happens
Fine wet sanding creates a uniform scratch pattern that can look hazy before final finishing.
Recommended grit
Use 1500, 2000, and 3000 to refine normal wet-sanding haze.
Wet or dry
Wet.
Success check
The haze is uniform with no deep isolated scratches.

What to do

  1. Check that the haze is even.
  2. Refine with 1500, then 2000, then 3000.
  3. Rinse and wipe between grits.
  4. Use the correct final finishing process for the material.
Avoid: Do not judge the final look while slurry or water is still on the surface.
