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.

• Flexes into curves and corners

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