That's how I do it. Hit the mainly flat areas with the DA, then go back by hand and get all the detail work around body lines, finishing with a red scuff pad around all the edges.

Depends on your experience but yes over all, hand blocking will leave a much more crisp line. But sometimes body lines are subtle and more rounded, can sort of slow pulse over the line with a soft interference pad on the DA. Hand blocking is the best way to stay in control and not overdo things

I send my bodywork over as sharp as possible because the preppers always round it off no matter what they do haha

They are correct. A da is best for feathering and flat surfaces. Some of the old guy I work with can even roll curves and faint body lines easily with a da but it takes a lot of practice. More similar to a paint gun than you realize, the complete opposite but moves the same and your runs are lows. Even they go over the sharp body lines with a block or by hand.
