    First true test of the garage lighting today is a resounding success


    Lots of micro scratches and water marks needing correction



    Qtr of the roof done



    Still a fair way to go

    Thanks Rino

    Part of it for me I reckon, besides what I listed above, is the fact that I spend my work week in an office tapping at a computer.

    It's relaxing for me to get out and do something vaguely energetic

    This morning more lights went in

    Another bank of fluoro's, horizontal under the initial pair on either side of the walls, to better catch the lower panels, and yet another pair mounted vertically at the rear of the garage to light around the back of cars better

    Looks awesome Dan!

    Although I'd be afraid to park my car in there - nowhere to hide under that level of light!

    You're not wrong mate

    My car might be dirty from time to time, but I know for a fact it's swirl free 99% of the time

    I'm not sure Dan, I think there is a bigger issue lurking. Is detailing just a cover for your addiction to fluro's? We haven't seen inside your house yet. Perhaps you have a secret room with floor to ceiling covered in lights.

    Still, it's a handy thing to have when you're a detailer

    The fluro's fittings do look pretty slick though? What's the colour? Tri phosphorus something? Forget the term.

    Haha thanks mate

    They're Tri phosphor T5 (cool white) lamps. Pretty standard fare. Nothing really exotic. There's just a whole lot of them now

    Of course, he is a professional. In fact one could call him a professer of detailing.
