I hate fluorescents!!!!! For over all lighting they work great (washing, vacuuming, wheels) but when it comes time to do paint correction, I hate nothing more than fluorescents. When inspecting paint you need the direct light of halo's. The only way you can see scratches and swirls is when light reflects of the edges of the scratches. Fluourescents have such a soft light that they don't reflect off of the edges of scratches. That is why when you can't remove a scratch (too deep) the best you can do is round off the edges. That way the scratch is not as noticeable (light doesn't reflect as well). Sun light is the most direct light you can have, hense why you can see flaws so well.
