Default Sanding EM Body

Hello Everyone.
Well the time has come to put the body on the car. I have sanded the molding seams down smooth on the car, they look and feel nice and smooth. The question I have is:

What should I use to sand the rest of the car?

My manual says to dust the body with red oxide primer then "block sand" to find high/low spots that should be worked with bondo/resanding ,... this sanding will also prep the gel-coat to accept paint.

This makes sence,... I have a 3"X5" Block and a 3"X 8" block..... but I am afraid of making the body wavy with uneven sanding.... Is there something I need to know here??? My body doen't appear to be too far out of straight.

Any suggestions or any web-site where I might get more technical info??? Thanks,
RZ
