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.
