Oh...I should never have bought a black car, it's going to mess with my head...Been doing a bit more polishing as I still wasn't happy with the finish, it's almost there now...almost

I have a 3M Sun Gun which is excellent for showing up swirls and marks on the paintwork, it's an expensive bit of kit but nothing else on the market compares and it's as close to natural sunlight you can get. Only problem is the battery doesn't last long and buying replacements are £100+ so for all the time I use it the cost was too much to justify the price. My Sun Gun is 6 or 7 years old and the battery is almost dead so I decided today to try hooking it up to a 12V transformer, but it didn't work so plan B was hook it up to a spare car battery with the C-Tek connected and for the first time in a few years the darned thing worked, in fact it works better than with the original battery and when shone on the paintwork showed lots of swirls so back to the drawing board and out with the polishes again

Some more reflection shots in no particular order
