Lexxmexx Neutral Newbie June 28, 2007 Share June 28, 2007 I am planing to start a major project on removing all swirls on my car. Does anyone know of any cheap and good portable lights/torches that are very discriminating and can reveal swirl marks easily? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protege 1st Gear June 28, 2007 Share June 28, 2007 Take white LED lights or yellowish lights. should be able to reveal the swirls. If you want it free, go to petrol stations which have bright white lights, all the flaws can be seen clearly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades Neutral Newbie June 28, 2007 Share June 28, 2007 alamak ... use normal torchlight loh ... street lamps also can tell ... ur car got swirls meh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexxmexx Neutral Newbie June 28, 2007 Author Share June 28, 2007 Can't possibly go to petrol stations to detailing right? And I don't think I can remember the affected areas if I go somewhere else. Essentially, i need a light to identify and fix and then use it to see the results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexxmexx Neutral Newbie June 28, 2007 Author Share June 28, 2007 (edited) I told you before wat... Stupid me, during my 10k servicing, this guy from the grooming section came and psycho-ed me into taking up their package. First grooming was not bad, subsequently became really slack and sometimes didn't even buff off whatever crap they laid on my car. Just bought a cheap orbital buffer ($38) from Autobacs and I have lots of fixing to do liao....Hopefully the KIT Scratch Out and DG #101 will fix these swirls and those invisible H2O marks Edited June 28, 2007 by Lexxmexx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charliebrown 2nd Gear June 28, 2007 Share June 28, 2007 Got to be careful with these orbital buffers. Used one before. Must be very light handed and not press the buffer too hard on the paint surface. Else, you end up seeing no paint but the white primer! Happened to me.

Root Neutral Newbie June 28, 2007 Share June 28, 2007 heard from md himself that 101 is not suitable for machine use. I think it is because of the thin nature of 101 that make it unsuitable for more abrasive polishing, in this case, to help you remove swirl marks. my 2cents Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexxmexx Neutral Newbie June 28, 2007 Author Share June 28, 2007 Don't worry, I am only using this machine for the scratch remover. #101 will be strictly applied by hand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact those yellow halogens are e best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
