Wet sanding is simply sanding with sand paper and water. You can use any grit you want. You can use to just take off the clear or all the paint, depends on the grit.

Here's a tip. Do not try wetsanding your car yourself, you have to know exactly what kinda grit to use and know exactly what you are doing. Do it wrong and you'll mess your paint up...
