Can we talk about hand sanding vs. machines on body panels?
Last week, I was fixing a fender and the machine sander left swirl marks all over. I switched to hand sanding with a block, and it came out smooth. I know most shops use machines for speed, but I think hand sanding gives you more control. On curved panels, machines can dig in too deep. Hand sanding lets you feel the surface and avoid mistakes. What do you all think? Am I just stuck in my ways, or is there still a case for hand sanding?
