Doesn't need to be wetted. The 12000 grade will produce quite a shiny finish used dry.

I haven't found clogging to be an issue to be honest. However, it can get stained when sanding painted surfaces which can then be a problem when rubbing down other colours.

I might trying giving my cloths a wash.

Work through the grades using plenty of water. My instructions with the official kit also say to alternate between horizontal and vertical strokes as you move from grade to grade.
