That technique is is fine for single stage paint.



It will ruin a clearcoat.



Most cars in the last 15 years have a multistage clearcoated system. Wetsanding removes the crucial 'skin' of the clear, taking UV protection with it.



Failure is seldom immediate... might take 6 months to a year...
