Come this summer I am actually going to detail my paint for the first time. I know how to prep with a wax remover first before doing anything. My question is on wet sanding. I am going to use 2000 grit paper but my question is does direction matter; circular, up and down whatever. My grandpa owned an autobody shop so I have seen people do this before, and my mom used to work for him so she knows how to do it, but neither or us can remember if I am supposed to use a circular motion like in polishing and waxing or if it doesn't really matter.

I think you'll be ok with 600-800 grit, change sand paper often to avoid scratchs especially when using an orbital sander.
Hey K2 what the hell is an Xpatern??  Is that like going one direction over the piece and then perpendicular over the piece? I work at a shop that paints polymer parts for cars and I just go in one direction, not that i was ever shown the correct way, I just do what looks good
