Without a question, a 6" DA sander is my most often used power sander. I prefer a palm sander version because it gives you more control.
For hand sanding, I also make good use of a long board and a small sanding block. When it comes time to colorsand, I use a soft pad.

A DA (dual action) sander spins and at the same time, oscillates. You end up with small, oval shaped sanding marks instead of grinding marks. In essences, it turns a grinder into a sander.
The term is pronounced "Dee A". If you say, "I used a DA to sand my vehicle", anyone in the trade would know exactly what you are talking about.
