Hey everyone, got a dilema with a DG
need a recomendation for the light source during polishing cause i can't see the swirls on it with halogens, direct sunlight, only at night at a gas station the swirls are visible under the powerfull white light.
its a 2006 with swirls here and there from washing waxing etc, i was thinking about using PC with menzerna SIP and finishing off with Nano polish PO106FF. should i perhaps use something else on our "hard coat" paint that chips and swirls like no other....

 

I use fluorescent point lights. It really makes swirl marks pop out.

 

What wattage of halogen light are you using ???

 

any model brand name ?
500w it was, 1000w barley showed anything,

 

I agree, swirls are best seen at gas stations. What I do is take my halogens and put them at one end of the car and look at the car from the opposite end, you can see swirls much easier that way. When I polished my car, I use Menzerna 106ff and a white pad. Start with the least aggressive method and work your way up as needed. If your swirling isn't really bad, this combo should easily to the trick.

 

will pick up a 1400w halo today, and put them as far away as possible, before i had them away by ~6ft, i also purchased different bulbs, nothing works :> i had about 7 of different kind wattage and light :> i wonder if i can get a gas station light for my garage...

 

Yeah also paint your floor gloss white and your walls. Then it would be really shiny in your garage.

 

white floors :> will do hehe after that i be send to a mental hospital

 

 

I found most of my swirls under sunlight, having my halogens pointing at the roof of my garage, and finding them from the garage lights.
