What happens here

After the initial wet sanding, switch to a finer grit 3M sanding sponge to further smooth the area. Lightly dry sand over the entire repair spot and surrounding edges to feather out any remaining ridges and ensure a perfectly smooth transition. If you can still feel slight ridges, wet the fine sanding sponge and perform another round of wet sanding until the surface is completely smooth to the touch.

Goal: Achieve a perfectly smooth surface by fine sanding

What they say

Hide

holes that I need to actually bondo. I was using a medium sanding sponge. Got it all wet sanded. I got a fine sanding sponge here. I'm just going to lightly go over it, dry sand it just lightly to smooth out any more of the ridges around here where it took off all the paint. I can still feel just a little bit of the ridges around the edges. So, I'm actually going to use my fine sponge. I'm wetting it and I'm going to wet sand that with a fine 3M sanding sponge.
