You can but it's not really necessary. Some people like to turn to wetsanding during the last two grits - again, not really necessary but it can't hurt. You want to wipe in between the 1500 and the 3000 because the 1500 leaves behind dust that is still somewhat gritty and can mess up your 3000 polish job. Obviously you wipe after the 3000 so that when you apply the clearcoat no dust or film gets permanently stuck in it.

Hahaha I agree! Although my problem is I reinvest too much money into new toys, every job I do I'm like "ok, what new tool can I buy with the money I just made from the last one?". Saving money sucks. And there's always the ever-lengthening car parts list...
