Product overview

Fine 400 grit belongs at the preparation end of the job, after the profile is correct and before primer is applied. Its purpose is to reduce the scratch pattern left by earlier correction, not to take down a large ridge or thick filler edge. In AK's wording, the sanding sponge is super flexible and resistant to jamming; he also says it folds and adjusts without breaking. AK colour-codes the grades and identifies 400 as blue.

Use 400 grit when seams and filler transitions already sit level with the surrounding surface.
This grade is for pre-primer refinement rather than reshaping.
Primer is the next checkpoint for revealing any marks that still need attention.

Notes · Q & A

What does the grit number on a hand abrasive mean?

The number describes the fineness of the abrasive: lower numbers generally cut more aggressively, while higher numbers leave a finer scratch pattern. Start with the least aggressive grit that will remove the defect, because unnecessary coarse scratches create more work later.

Why should I work through progressively finer grits?

Each grit replaces the scratches from the previous stage with shallower marks. Jumping from a low number straight to the finest option can leave deeper lines that the finer abrasive removes only slowly.

Why choose a flexible abrasive for curved parts?

A flexible abrasive follows curved panels, rounded edges and shallow recesses more closely than a hard, flat backing. That conformability helps preserve the intended shape where a rigid tool might bridge the curve or concentrate contact on one point.

How do I know when sanding is finished?

On an opaque part, sanding is complete when the ridge or defect has gone and the remaining scratch pattern is fine enough for primer. Primer then shows whether further preparation is required. Clear parts normally continue into finer abrasive and polishing stages until the required clarity returns.
