Tamiya Sanding Sponge Sheet 3000

The final sanding step before the shine. Tamiya's ultra-fine 3000-grit sponge sheet leaves a surface so smooth it's practically ready to buff, ironing out the last faint scratches from earlier grits. The flexible foam base conforms to curves and corners, and you can cut it to size and sand wet or dry on plastic, wood and metal.

What's in the box

• One 114 x 140mm sanding sponge sheet, 3000 grit (ultra-fine)
• Aluminium oxide abrasive on a 5mm flexible foam base
• Suitable for wet sanding; cut to size with a knife

Why it's good

• Leaves a near-polished, buff-ready surface
• Removes the last fine scratches
• Flexes into curves and corners

Finish here and a polishing compound will bring up a proper mirror shine.

The last stop before the buff. Follow the 2000 grit sheet and finish with polishing compound sponges.
