What kind of lighting and where should it be positioned

BTW, I have a silver Acura 3.2TL.

I know I have some microscratching. If I park at the mall at night in certain angles I can see them. But I can't see them in my garage.

I currently have 6 dual-bulb fluoroescent lights mounted in the ceiling and a portable halogen work light, but no matter what I try I can get the light to show the scratches.

Any ideas on how I can get the light just right so I can see them enough to polish them out. I really don't want to have to drive to the mall to see if I've gotten them out.

Neil

Yeah, I'd need a hella long extension cord.

Anybody got a generator I can borrow.

"What kind of lights"??

bright ones, that are above your head.

No seriously, you should be able to get those lights you have to work.... otherwise you could always get one of those halide or mercury-type lamps that are meant for use outside the garage, and run it inside (just beware it will get hella hot)
