If yes, which grain size of sanding paper? 400? 600?

Or do you use only braking cleaner before applying the traction compound?

And what about carpet?

Thanks...
This was covered a few pages back. They almost never sand/scuff the tires before a race. I think there was only one exeption where they tried that and it didn't really help...
