Here's how I look at most all sanding.
1. There is sanding to finish refining a shape. (up to and including 220 grit)
2. There is sanding to smooth and prepare the surface. (above 220 grit)
You need to be mindful of excessive heat and uneven pressure. There are many ways to accomplish both of these but that's the basics.

When I find a spot I want to sand after the bowl can no longer be remounted on the lathe, I get out my trusty Harbor Freight orbital air sander and go after it. I also use this when trying to get the scratches out of (especially cherry) end grain even with the bowl still mounted on the lathe.

I use the HF air sander with Vince's blue discs, and his back up pads.

First, I would recommend getting your sanding discs from Vince.  Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or Register
For me, when ready to sand, I put a coat of finish on the bowl let dry then sand. This shows the marks that need to be sanded out. I also do a lot of wet sanding. IE: reason for using Vince's blue discs. Another idea is to take the bowl into a different light. This will show more finish imperfections. I'm amazed at how this shows up imperfections.

There have been a few instances where I've resorted to using a carbon steel scraper with well formed curl to bring a bowl surface up to = 120 and then sanding where needed.
