Scary Sharp - Wet/Dry with Water?

Probably a silly question. When sharpening a plane or chisel using "SS". is
the wet/dry sandpaper actually used with water, or is it used dry?

I've always done it dry; it's just way more clean and convenient.

But I think the results might be better if you used water. Swarf
removal and all.

That's the way I've been doing it. I only go to 2000, though. Didn't even
know you could get 6000.

I'm thinking it was 6,000 could be less. It's been awhile since
I've sharpened my chisels. I get them at Rockler.

The coarse part dry. The final wet. I've used 600 to 6000 grit
wet. Besides if you use a piece of glass as your base wet sand
paper likes to stick to it.
