    polishing with peeling clear coat

    Should I take an special steps? I'm detailing my neighbors car and the rear bumper was repainted after an accident. There are a couple spots where the clear coat is peeling off, little quarter sized areas. Should I just run over them with the PC or tape them off?

    Portable lighting

    my garage has horrible lighting(2 50w bulbs). I was flipping through a Sears flyer and they have these for $30. Anyone have anything similar or something they would recommend? http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&pid=03473825000&tab=des#tab

    I need something slightly more aggressive than 3M SMR
