    one thing about a da is you need a good pad like 3m i use 6 inch i like the palm type da s .and guys run them to fast burn paper up and shake the $hit out of what your tring to make flat you can get things very flat if you know what your doing with one but like any thing else can add to choppy work so there comes a time were you may want to use blocks or boards . when i did body and paint for a livining i used one all the time and used it up to paint prep and block wet sanded and to pad wet sand. before color and just went over with a block wet320to 400 to get any 66 out some guys call them 6or8s marks that is what the da makes as it sands if you used a guid coat you can get things flat with a da first things is hold it flat. watch your speed and slow the thing down keeps paper from pluging up and burning of the grit of the paper .use fresh paper and if you drop it you can bend the pad so you will need a new pad if you do not want to make more work
