Depends on the surface of the gfibre! But yes - probably same less-than-great finish on both!

remember not to use wet and dry on the glass fibre.. if you get water into the fibre it will expand when it gets warm and create micro blisters... a common problem on glass fibre cars that have been repaired.

Not wishing to spoil the joke, but wet and dry tends to clog badly "dry".
Why not use that super-duper white production paper- seems to last much longer, for me anyway. Oh and you use it DRY! :wink:
