The areas you cant hit with the da do you use a block, then stir stick, then finger tip? Talking about smaller and smaller areas. Things like door jams, engine compartments. Going down to metal so I'll be using 80 grit to start with.

Exactly, you put the paper on whatever will reach in. Sand blasting was invented to keep skin on finger tips, ;)

In some odd shaped areas like door jambs or under lids you can use scuff pads more easily than sandpaper. I usually use red pads under primer and finer gray pads under paint.
