The verdict

Where this pick fits.

German silicon carbide at 2000 for the wet sanding sequence. Loads slow, stays waterproof, and gives you the surface the compound needs to close.

German grain at 2000. Wet, controlled, exactly what the compound needs to follow.

Use it when

The fit is obvious.

· Reach for the Klingspor 2000 Wet/Dry when the job is wet sanding, automotive paint correction, and pre-compound pass: that is the fight it was built for.
· Silicon carbide bites sharp and fast, and it loves water. Brittle, brilliant, a little reckless: the grain that leaves glass when you keep it wet.
· This is refinement territory. It flatters a surface that is already close; it will not rescue a rough one.

Skip it when

The job asks for something else.

· Leave it if you still need to remove stock, paint, filler, or machine marks; fine grit only polishes over problems it cannot fix.
· Leave it if you already know you want the premium option; a mid-tier pick is a compromise, and you clearly are not in the mood for one.
· Leave it on the shelf if you are flattening big panels all day: a random orbital keeps pressure even where your hand drifts.

Best for

Where it earns its keep.

· wet sanding
· automotive paint correction
· pre-compound pass
