I need lighting advice ASAP!

[Preachers Sheets]

I took the day off on Friday to detail, looks like it will be almost 60 but cloudly, I want to get rid of all my swirls but I can't unless I can see them. What type of lamp do I need to see the swirls without sun?



I am trying to find a model at Sears.com but I can't find anything. I don't know the specs I am looking for.



Help me out guys.

Halogen lights should work.

Go to Home Depot, Walmart, or whatever (these things are pretty common and cheap these days) and find a set of 500W halogen lights on a stand. Home Depot has more industrial strength models than other places, but wattage is wattage I say.

When I detail my car I usally stop by a gas station at night and it looks a-ok but after a few washings you can see alot of things the sun will never pick up. Good thing those gas station bulbs don't provide our sunlight, all of us detailers would be in trouble!



Off to Home Depot it is tomorrow, I need another bottle of Meguiars Swirl Remover anyhow.

This is what I have, lights up every damn swirl - better than flourescent lights.

I bought one halogen floor lite for the low areas and one double halogen lite on a tripod stand for the uppers. Spent around 50 bucks. Check out Lowes. www.lowes.com then search portable work lighting.
