Hi Spiro, I am curious to know if that is a random orbital sander you are using?
The reason is that orbital sanders, although fine for paint leave swirls in clear or translucent finishes. This is why I don't generally use a power sander except for a belt. I don't even use one much for sanding drywall but that is more to do with the dust. I do see palm sanders often used and wonder about their action. I know that you can get "back & forth" sanders but I never see them in the shops.
