English term or phrase: 800-grit sandpaper
Bonjour,

savez-vous comment traduire le terme "800-grit sandpaper" ? Je sais que "sandpaper" se traduit par "papier de verre", mais je ne sais pas ce qu'est "grit".

"It looks like a radical attack on a perfect car surface. But that 800-grit sandpaper is really only affecting one replaceable thing, the clear coat."
