John,

Just wanted to make sure that you appreciate that the grit calibration scale for sandpaper/wet and dry, is a different scale to the micromesh. If you sand to 4000 then go back to whatever grit on the micromesh, you might be undoing the good that you have already created. Here is a conversion chart. Note that the American system is different to the European grading system for paper as well!
