i'm going to paint my house exterior. which sander do i need?

i had my house painted before. it didnt last. the trim is in excellent shape. the main walls, not so much. i plan to clean everything, but only paint the main walls. i'll choose a color that matches pretty easily.

i decided i would do it myself. save some coin. i can take my time. do a wall at a time, not trying to break any paint records.

SANDER..which one? my house is wood siding. big unobtainium 12" wide planks with weird shingle-ly grooves at the ends. palm orbital sander? i dont want to take it down to bare wood, but i do have a lot to knock down. i once had an old timer carpenter tell me the name of the wood cut, but i have forgotten it. i might have to get some milled to replace a few bad sections.

..or, i could replace my garage door and salvage the good pieces from there.

i dont need to sand super smooth right? never done something like this before.

i just learned about TSP wash. wtf?
