Well Im actually in the suburb of Marietta, but its still HOTlanta.

I just bought a bunch of stuff, Edge pads, DP Surface Shield, Optimum Polish, 7424. Got a few cars of mine that need a nice cleaning. My AudiA4 has some major swirl issues that I will take care of as soon as it stops raining for me to work on it. My S55 AMG doesnt really have much of any problems, just needs a good clay, polish, sealant to run him for a few months. The S600 has a few swirls as well (just like my Black A4, this is Black) and that will get its share of time. Finally got a 91 350SDL Benz that needs some work cleaning the surface up before I put it up for sale, did some extensive engine rebuilding myself on it, time to get rid of it since I got the S600 a few months ago.

I want to do this all outside instead of in my 2car garage where the lighting is no the greatest, was looking for a nice portable carport/tent like deal that I can just extract out of a bag or something and put it up so the car is under the shade while I work on it in the driveway.

Welcome to the site from Sonoma County CA

Sounds like you have a car lot

For the canopy there is a thread running about one...also use the search feature to see who else has had a thread about them

Welcome. I`m in Alpharetta myself. I`d suggest running over to Home Depot or Lowes and getting yourself a nice set of lights. I have a pair that are on an adjustable stand. They really do the trick as I hate polishing in direct sun.

Nice a local. I work in Roswell (corner of mansell and old roswell rd).

Yea I was thinking of just removing them socket bulbs I got up there and putting in maybe two 4` flourescent fixtures, but gotta see how that would work since if the garage door up one is going to get blocked by the door. Ive never been a huge fan of those stand based halogens.

Thank you Troy. Quick question, is your facility/warehouse located in FL? Just wondering on that if I order I presume it would be coming from FL and take no more than 2days to get here. I hate waiting 1week or more for stuff that comes from the West coast.
